Leg Three of the Baja Haha

There was little wind during leg 3 so we motored most of the way. Fortunately, our crew did do night watches after the night at San Quitin. Tom still kept a sharp eye and ear out during their watches. We'd expected to be in Cabo fairly early on 11/4/10. The last 5 miles around Cabo Falso were gale force conditions - 35 knot winds right on our head. We finally anchored about 5pm in the nastiest conditions I'd ever seen in an anchorage - mixed swells and winds. It calmed about 8 pm, then the wind shifted about 11:30 pm and it was utterly miserable.

I'd declined a $150 per night side tie slip as the marina was exposed in these conditions. The next day, a regular slip became available so we took it. We got and end slip near the marina gate/boardwalk. It was astounding how many people stopped to photograph the Santorini. She did look stunning - so unique among the common super-sport fishers, bleach bottle sailboats and the other vessels in the harbor.

More parties! A beach party, awards ceremony, and numerous cantina gatherings. We grew weary of having to keep a schedule. On 11/7 we went to say good-bye for now to Jack and Leann on Red Sky and left cabo at noon.
