Day 13: Bahia San Francisquito to Santa Rosalia

With a 78 mile journey infront of us, David decided an early start was needed to avoid arriving in the dark. So we left at 12, midnight! It wasn't too bad, alternating watches of two hours all day long. Navigating by stars was really neat, and David used Mars while Patrick followed Scorpio.

Daylight came and all day long, no major incidents or things to write home about. Except we almost hit a whale. One dove right in front of us causing us to steer sharply and then surfaced just a dozen yards away. A close call.

We raised Santa Rosalia early in the afternoon and within sight of the harbor started reeling in the meat hooks. As soon as David started reeling in the pole, he had a fish on! Turns out it was a yellow tail! A little one, but a pretty fish and good hamachi sashimi!

It sure is nice being in a harbor again. Hot showers for the first time in weeks, and calm fseas. Also, a town to explore and buy street food. Patrick had a tamarindo paleta but it was not as good as his!
