We left San Jose Del Cabo at 7 am on 11/8 to cross the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan. It was quiet, calm and we saw very few boats. Light winds helped some, but we motored for 29 hours. We pulled into Marina El Cid about noon on 11/9. The party was over and we said good-bye to our young crew, and welcome our new crew member: Dr. Mark Burcaw, DC.
We're very glad that our journey started with the Baja Haha. It was such a well run event. The pace was faster than we'd probably have gone on our own - but the comfort of traveling with such a large group was more than worth it. It was great to meet so many like minded people and new cruiser friends. Richard Spindler is so PASSIONATE about it. He's a "father hen" who worries about the safety of each crewman on every boat.
The Baja Haha gave us the confidence to continue on our own - knowing we are part of a very large, giving, caring cruising community.
Thanks Richard!
