Hangin on the hook

Cabin fever may set in here in Cabo. We arrived exactly 48 hrs after leaving PV, anchor down at 12:30pm on Monday and margarita onshore by 1:00. It was probably closer to 3 before we had margaritas due to necessary check ins and laundry deposit. We had gotten very wet in the cockpit over the last 24 hrs of our passage, actually the crew is saying that it was just Roger that acted as a sponge!

We are sitting in Cabo at anchorage with Ruby on Tues. They are also planning a northward passage to SF so we could have company on the bash. John from Ruby greeted us yesterday with the current weather forecast from Don on Summer Passage. Don is the west coast weather guru and he says to stay put in Cabo for the immediate foreseeable future and possibly until early next week. We have spent hours here on the boat checking all our weather forecast and they all concur. I will still be flying home Wed regardless of wind and waves, sorry guys.

That leaves the guys with plenty of time to critique the boats anchored close by. Their favorite is the 32' Grand Banks with a schooner rig and extended back deck. The back deck serves two purposes, one is a great sun deck for the two large dogs on board and the second is a contact point for the back stay.



The first picture could have been trick photography or another boat anchored in just the right position so a second picture is required. That really is a schooner rigged Grand Banks!!

On the other hand we do get to look rather longingly at Fighting Irish anchored on the other side of us. If only she had been named Fight On instead. Go Trojans!!!
