Fast Passage

We left Chamela at dawn and arrived in Punta Mita less than 12 hours later, an average speed of over 8 knots, the boat's theoretical hull speed (1.4 times the squre root of the water line). As you can see, we did over 9 knots over the earth at times according to all 3 GPS units. We had about 3 knots of current and 12 to 15 knots of wind on the beam, a perfect passage. You can see the crew was pleased to be back in Banderas Bay and enjoyed the run. I caught a nice yellow fin tuna for dinner to top off a great day.
