Crossing to La Paz

We had a great passage to La Paz, after spending most of April in Mazatlan. The engine was overheating and we had to replace the heat exchanger and the exaust elbow. The delay was fortuitous, as a few days before our scheduled departure our friends Jim and Chris of La Ballona arrived and we departed together. The wind was out of the south the whole passage so we were able to sail. This photo was taken just after Jim put up the Spinnaker. We caught a nice dorado which we had for dinner with Jim and Chris on our arrival. Jim fought a huge marlin for over an hour before releasing it at the boat. The wind piped up about an hour after this photo was taken so the spinnaker had to come down. One of our best long passages yet.
