Skipping San Quintin

Last nights' run was so smooth and the weather outlook was too good to pass up so we opted to keep on going. We passed Isla San Martin and Cabo San Quintin in the early morning hours then pointed the bow for the San Benito Islands. At our current speed we should arrive there sometime between noon and 2pm local time tomorrow (2/09). The stars last night were fabulous. The big and little dipper, Sirius, Taurus and Orion kept us company until about 11pm and then the fog set in. We were motoring
along in our own little 100' diameter world until about 10 am today when it began to clear. Not many critters yet today except that Michelle was very excited to spot a school of Humboldt Squid feeding at the surface at first light. It's just after noon and we're about to cross 30 degrees north and get into the 20's. We're 14 miles offshore and about to cross Bahia Vizcaino from Pta. Baja across the north end of Isla Cedros. The winds are less than 10 knots from the WNW and the seas are pretty
flat except for the low but broad swell that has kept us company since San Diego.
