Sailed, steeps seas about 6ft 6sec. Winds from NW at 15-30knots at bit chilly
We left around 810am from Burros, not much wind, Cam and Jaine left about a 1hr before us. We saw Bill, cant remember the name of his boat, he was next to us in the yard at Marina Seca, hes from Bellingham WA. At the mouth of Bahia Concepcion we had to dodge several fishing nets and as we rounded Punta Domingo the wind picked up. We had a great sail most of the 46nm, it was rough though with steep seas 6ft at 6 sec. When we got to Bahia San Nicholas near San Sabastian the winds were blowing 25-30knots we had full sails up. I was not comfortable, I had a hard time trying to steer Rainshadow, Brian had to take the helm. We did bring in the staysail and rolled the main jib in about ½. We could not reef the main, because we haven’t put in the reef line yet. The winds let up a bit as we neared the point and then we pulled in a Skip Jack Tuna!! Our first fish this trip!! We anchored at Punta Pulpita, its not a very pretty anchorage but a nice stop for a over night break. Brian put the dink in and Picked up Cam and Janie and brought them over for fresh fried tuna, with Cams mac and cheese. Good dinner. Off to San Juanico tomorrow after we explore the obsidian vein in the rock cliff.
