Southbound from Ensenada

This morning we wrapped things up in Ensenada and got ready to head out. We were full of water, diesel and food as we headed out of Ensenada harbor around 11 am this morning. Since then it's been a motor boat ride with smooth seas (4' WNW swell) and winds less than 10 knots. Bad weather for sailing but good for wildlife sightings. We passed some bottlenose dolphins on our way out of Todos Santos bay then it was on to some groups of common dolphins further south and a group of 5 grey whales.
We'll be underway all night to arrive at our anchorage in San Quintin tomorrow morning. The weather outlook for the next few days is looking pretty good.

  2. Hola! Bienvenidos a aguas Mexicanas! I'm glad that you have made it so far and are back in Baja! Keep an eye out for Northern Right Whales; they are extremely rare but there was a sighting a few years ago near Cabo, so there is always a chance. Good luck and better winds! Carlos Navarro
