We made it to Turtle Bay Mexico!!

I am sending this via my mom through the ham radio as there is no internet access here at Turtle Bay. So all photos will have to wait until I find internet. ( trust me I will find away - there actually is one wireless network but it needs a WEP key)

Trivia Question #15 - I'm sure you've all figured out is Turtle Bay and Karen got it first ( I was able to read the blog before we left on Thursday Dec 20) Karen answered so fast I barely had it up

We arrived on the 23rd at 1;30pm in the afternoon. We sailed most of the way here and only had the engine running for one day. Dec. 23 at 2:31 am was our fastest sail @ 6.8knts - good waves too. took a lot of green water on the deck and even had it splash the back window of our enclosure. We were healed over to starboard and washed the deck a few times. Good fun!! I sure trust this boat! We did manage to chafe through our 1 & 2 reef lines from inside the boom , so we have some repairs to do.

We traveled 386 nautical miles from San Diego to Turtle Bay that's 65 hrs of straight traveling!
(not our longest though Port Angelos to Cresent City was longer, however this one was tougher in that we all got sick and had lots of confused seas!)
Steve has also figured out that we have traveled over 1500 nautical miles from Vancouver to here. !! wow that's a lot! .
It is sunny and warm ( a little windy on the water) and we have dolphins playing right off our bow. We are anchored with an 8 to 1 scope as it was really windy last night ( 25-30 knts) Apparently the grey whale migrates here and we should see some in the bay. Cross our fingers!! It is very brown and deserty here. This is were the desert meets the sea. On the southside of where we are anchored there is a place with lots of whale bones, so we will go for an adventure on Christmas day.
The villagers cruise the bay in "pangas" bringing fuel to us if we need it.
We are getting ready to head to the village - We need to learn our spanish!
