We are 8 miles short of Turtle Bay which is about half way down the coast towards Cabo.
Still waiting for a decent day of sailing. The breeze was great this morning, but then quickly built to 25 out of the South (yuck), and then died completely (not much better). So, the new batteries are very full, the water tanks are full of water we've made while motoring, but...the fuel tanks are running on empty.
We had hoped to carry on towards Magdellena Bay to meet some RYC friends tomorrow, but now are arriving in Turtle Bay too late to fuel up today. Looks like a night at anchor, fuel tomorrow AM and then back out we go!
My two favorite new toys on Morpheus for this trip
1) The IPAD for its "Starwalk" application. It's amazing. Simply hold it up to the sky and it draws a picture of the stars you are looking at complete with names and constellation outlines. Fantastic!!
2) XM Weather and Radio - real time views of surface winds, fronts, cloud cover, lightning, etc.
Ok, time to get the anchor ready.
Hope all is well,
-Jim
PS> Have some great video of the dog on the bow watching a few dolphin playing under our bow for a few minutes.
