We have been at Isla San Francisco  24*49'N 110*34'W for the past 2 days. have  had south westerly winds blowing all day yesterday around 20knts and a little  this morning ( Feb 15) maybe 10 knts.  Our friends Malachi have gone further  north and we will not see them now until we cross the big pond to the Marquasas.  The kids and I went to shore and found all kinds of shells and coral. Kyle found  the biggest piece about 2ft across and so badly wanted to bring it to the boat  but mom the party pooper said
no.  Way to big!! The rock around here is red  pumice and lava . very cool looking! photos to follow soon. The wind was blowing  so hard the sand was hitting the back of our legs - hurt!! felt like pins  hitting them.
 Kyle and Steve did a bunch of fishing but no luck. They  got live bait from the Mexican fishermen who were catching sardines with a very  fine net and by taking their pangas driving them in a circle .Was very fun to  watch, Emma really liked it.  The yellowtail are here now, but the boys have had  no bites. The last 2 days have been quite rough and bouncy - hard to fish in a  dingy.
There is halibut here, so Kyle has been trying to catch one.  
We  are planning to leave here around 1am, ( so its not a Friday) and head south to  PV. The winds look to be good - North westerly at 20-25 knots. just the right  direction and good speed. We should have a great sail down.
Solar Panels are  nearly hooked up- hope to have them working by the end of the  day...................
