We had hopes of sailing from La Paz across the Sea of Cortez, out into the Pacific and along the western coast of Mexico to Zihuatanejo. It's about 650 miles and would have put us out for a week or so. Our first days were uneventful, a few whales, a few manta rays, dolphins coming to visit and play in our bow wake. The sunsets were spectacular, Scorpio rose in the east each morning, Orion set in the west, and we shared watch-on-watch of 3 hours each.
In the night, about 40 miles out of Isla Isabela, north of Isla Marias, we acquired some hitchhikers. Three gannets perched on our bow rail through the night, flying off only when land came in sight.
We didn't begrudge them the ride, but it is a pain to scrub the deck when they leave! Guests leaving behind dirty sheets!
Will there be a green flash???!!!!
