We are set to leave the dock at Marina San Carlos tomorrow morning, drop the hook in the bay for a few hours, and then head across to Baja (San Juanico, Isla Coronados, or Puerto Escondido depending on wind direction and sea state). Hopefully our plan works this time! While we were here Omar put in a pump and bypass to make it easier to bleed the engine and he rebuilt the raw water pump and the spare. The weather did not cooperate for a speedy departure. It has been cold and windy with 20-30 knot winds blowing through the bay most afternoons. With only a day or two between wind events the seas never have a chance to lay down. We are looking at a good, but short, window to get across the Sea of Cortez tomorrow so we are going for it. Here are a few photos of our January stay in San Carlos: Jim spent almost three hours one morning at the top of the mast. He installed a new wind instrument. He first had to remove the old bracket, splice the new cable
