We left Ensenada at 9.30 am after a great breakfast by Steve, headed out of the bay and around Islas Todas Santos (8 miles out from Ensenada (a great surfing spot, but not today seas are about 3 feet 12 seconds so smooth)  (31:44.935N 116:47.865W. Wind at the moment is 18 degrees off the bow which does not match the models, so working on this, we have a coarse headed for off Cedros Island where we will either pull in or turn for the final run into Turtle Bay. We expect at the current rate this to be a 31 hour trip to Cedros, hopefully we get some favorable wind to help push us a long, so in late afternoon tomorrow. We will make the decision then if we go through to Turtle or stop, (stay tuned). Fishing lines are out, Ed and I have a competition on, we have a margaritas on each leg for the winner. Sun is out it’s 16 deg C outside with wind chill, very nice it is in the 70s in the sun and we in shorts.
