Birthday Passage

Happy Birthday Emma!
Our crew addition as of October 26th (over a month ago already!) is now 22! Emma has been an awesome addition to our family and we feel so lucky to be able to celebrate her being brought in to this world. We had a combo Thanksgiving And Birthday celebration on the 28th with our three buddy boat friends, Pete, Andrew, and Casey. Today we celebrate again more intimately. We left this morning at 07:00 by sailing off the hook at Magdalena Bay and set our heading for Cabo San Lucas, approximately 162 miles away. The sail will take us at least 30 hours. We will only be there for long enough to rest and restock before heading to Isla Isabella and then the mainland of Mexico.

We are limited on our posting ability, so I apologize for the lack of posts.

enjoying time waiting for wind

We have stayed in Hipolito for a few days waiting for some wind to take us south. Our first day here we went to shore and walked to the point to surf and tide pool. We talked with a local about where we could get lunch. He went home, made us lobster burritos and quesadillas and hour later drove out on the dirt road to the point and delivered the food! Amazing!!!! Cute little fishing village. We also spent a lot of time at the sandy beach. Perfect for kids. The next day we did more surfing and beach time. And again the next day. Looks like there will be wind for us tomorrow to get to Abreojos (open yours eyes), named that due to the many rocks and shallow reefs surrounding the north west entrance.

Picture is of Nina cutting onions with mask and snorkel so she doesn’t cry 🙂
