Last leg to Cabo San Lucas







Dec 3 2007 - I think a couple of us are leaving today to Cabo San Lucas 160 miles away. I slowly start raising the anchor gazing at all of the stars just after 5:00, what a gorgeous night, stars are out in full force, sliver of a moon, all of the boats with ther anchor lights on. We motor out of the bay, I look behind me and there are nav. lights on all over. Looks like everyone is on the move.









Fishing boats in Bahia Magdalena. Start of a beautiful day.


By the time we leave the bay there 10 boats doing the last leg. "My Wind Song" - cs33-Nanaimo,"Paesano"- catalina 38-Nanaimo "Misty Michael" - custom power boat 48', Nanaimo,"Tender Spirit"-34' westsail -Alaska these boats all have 2 people aboard around our age.

"Malachi" - 48' Tayana-Maple Ridge, "Shambala" steel boat about 40'-Australia, "Hannah"- 43' Mason-Seattle, "Maryke Violet"- 40' wood schooner-Powell River,"Aquarelle"-35' Niagra - Nanaimo, these boats all have kids on board that range in age from 8 yrs to 16 yrs old


Shambala flying her spinnaker beside us. Shambala is from Australia, 3 yrs into their trip. This year they have sailed from Japan to Alaska and down the coast to sail with us. We flew our spinnaker from 10:00 to 20:30 hrs.



Landscape in the back ground has been the same all the way from Ensenada.




Dec 4 2007 - Cabo San Lucas, we made it.
