Just past nine o'clock this morning we were on our way our of the harbor. We had just made a stop at the fuel dock to top off the aft fuel tank and the starboard water tank. So we are all 'tanked' up so to speak. Twice the engine just stopped, once as we were approaching the fuel dock and later as we were leaving. It was a little disconcerting. Rich had replaced the fuel filters while we were in La Paz which would have been our first suspicion. It is now past 5:15 pm and the motor has been running constantly since then without a hiccup so as they say in the movie, "Shakespeare in Love", "It's a mystery". We have been coming across more of these mysteries.
The winds have been light all day, anywhere from 0.0 to at maximum of 7.8 knots. We are motorsailing with the main so that helps our speed and we are putting it in the bank.
As we left Puerto Los Cabos we saw some fishing boats and we had an AIS target of a cruise ship but since 11:00 am we have seen nothing other than a boobie that flew by and a cup of noodles container. The horizon is clear. No green flash at sunset due to low lying clouds in the distance. I hope that the evening is just as uneventful.
I did manage to finish one book and have started another but had to stop when the sunset.
We have traveled 65 nautical miles and we have about 210 nautical miles to go.
Adios
