Pirates in Cabo!

They made it to Cabo! Arrived at 0130 this morning. Not a fun leg, this last one...they said. Seas were rough. Only made 80 miles in 24 hours. Not too good. Though it was always our rule not to go into anchorages or marinas we had never been in...at night...they went on in and had no problem. They were plenty tired, though.

Good news is...the marina only costs $60/night rather than the $95/night they quoted me! Yay! Bad news is one of the pirates had to head back early to Alameda. So he's flying back Wednesday.

So...the Pirates 3 will carry on! Report has it they caught a mahi mahi and the galley chairman extraordinaire made ceviche! Yum! Arrrrr!

Weather looks like a good departure for points further north on Thursday. So they will rest up, check out of the country tomorrow, and be ready to go at o'dark-thirty Thursday morn. Hooray! Hoping the seas and winds will be kinder on this leg of the trip. But don't count on it. The weather looks good but they need to try to beat the weather hanging up north. They can tuck into Turtle Bay for needed rest and weather conditions if need be.

They said it's chilly there! Nice in the day but low 60s at night. The east coast is getting the warmer weather I guess! =)

Avast ye hardies! Carry on!
