Ocean Crossing To Mazatlan

Spending two days in Cabo San Lucas was enough. Jet skis, cruise ships, para sailors and beach partying was enough and we couldn’t wait to leave Cabo and cross the Sea of Cortes towards Mazatlan.

Wind was on and off and we motored a good portion of the stretch. The sunset was breathtaking and we can across several sea turtles, each in it’s own and alone in the midst of the ocean.

We approached Mazatlan the next day in the evening. It was already dark but fortunately the harbor entrance was clearly marked and we dropped anchor without much hassle.

 

Heading For Cabo San Lucas

After two days in high winds at Bahia Santa Maria, we were overdue for a departure. Another overnighter to Cabo San Lucas should bring our long sought tropical weather.

At about 5am, I spotted a light that got bigger and bigger far out in the horizon. An hour later a mini-town appeared about a mile to our port side. We caught up with the Carnival Cruise ship the next day in Cabo San Lucas.
