Crossed the finish line at Turtle Bay

27 53.63 N, 115 19.10 W

At 7:38 pm we crossed the finish line at Turtle Bay. We still have a little over 18 more miles from the line to go into the harbor. We are looking forward to anchoring and staying in one place for a bit.

We have been doing well sailing. Late this afternoon we had a large pod of Dahl porpoises come join us and play by our bow. I got some video but I don't think it is National Geographic quality. If any of it looks decent, I will post on the blog the next time we have internet.

Rich and I are now rigging preventer lines from the bow back to the end of the boom in addition to using a boom brake. We have not quite worked out all of the kinks but it seems to be working fairly well.

It has been a long few days so I will end this now. More later about Turtle Bay.

No worries,

Elaine, Rich and Dan
