Ups and downs.... mostly ups. Big picture depart Ensenada Thursday Nov 5th 1130 arrive Cabo San Lucas Thursday Nov 12 at 0830 local or 0730 ensenada time. Highs, steady 10 to 20 knot winds aft, great performance from Monitor windvane, beautiful meteor shower and US Rocket displays, homemade beef stew, pecan pancakes, grilled steak and easy living. Downside got surprised with too much canvas up with gap winds up to 30 knots south of Mag bay when forecast was for 6-8 knots with calm overnight. Love my captain (Annie) and my boat and to be underway for a week was a blast. To my friends in the frozen north the water and air in Cabo is in the low 80's this week.
