It was a long evening with many boats around us to watch for. This morning we had to be on the look out for fishing floats with lines between them. We almost were caught by one. It is scary wondering how many we might have passed in the night, not seeing them at all.
We were escorted by a very large group of porpoises. Were they showing us the way? We also saw groups of flying fish scatter across the surface as we go by.
We crossed the finish line at 11:38 am and continued motoring around Cabo Falso and then Cabo San Lucas. There are many more homes, hotels and condominiums than there were 10 years ago. We anchored along the beach right behind the Walt Disney cruise ship with the jet skis, parasailing, hobie cats, etc zipping around. The beach is more narrow and drops off steeply due to the hurricane that hit this area some years ago. Lots of hotels but very few people on the beach and almost no palapas selling cerviche.
After anchoring and securing the boat we took well deserved showers, then a rest. Later in the afternoon we caught a panga into the marina area for dinner at the Baja Cantina. The food was good and we got a chance to watch some of the activity around the marina. After dinner we walked around the marina which is now surrounded by a series of restaurants and high end shops. It was a little more difficult trying to get a panga back to the boat. We finally asked marina security to get a panga / water taxi for us. It was a little hunting in the dark on the way back since we forgot to turn on the anchor light before we left.
So we are here for a few days but Dan leaves tomorrow. He is now a blue water sailor and he will be missed.
Adios
