We enjoyed some absolutely amazing downwind sailing for 6 of 7 days between Ensenada and Cabo san Lucas. Sailing that is normally only possible in one’s dreams!  We motored the last 8 miles into Cabo san Lucas, which seems to be more of a nightmare than a dream – somewhat like a large movie set for industrial tourism gone wrong.  However, the showers were nice after 7 days at sea.

Sadly, we left Lou behind in Cabo so that he could catch his flight back home to the rain, cold and darkness of Vancouver in November.  Peter and I moved on to San Jose del Cabo in zero wind using the engine. We went by 3 cruise ships in Cabo’s outer harbour, the tenders of which made the normal pandemonium at the harbour entrance appear to be peace and tranquility of the highest order.

Now, we are tied up right next to Paul Allen’s megayacht which comes complete with a helicopter.

Tomorrow we hope to sail or motor to Los Frailes and anchor.  Once in La Paz more pretty pictures and the digested thoughts of a now experienced downwind sailor will be posted, internet connection speed permitting.
