Crossing the Sea of Cortez

We left Mazatlan Harbor this morning with anchor up at 8:25 am and are now heading West across the Sea of Cortez. We have just over 140 more miles to go, we are heading to Bahia de Los Muertos on the Baja side. The winds are actually out of the south at around 10 knots, so it's a great beam reach sail. We should arrive there in time to hit the Giggling Marlin restaurant for dinner tomorrow night.

Monday was Ryan's 5th birthday! We had a party of him on shore with some of the other cruisers anchored in Mazatlan. He had such a great time!!! As we were blowing up balloons etc, he couldn't wait for his party to start... He got a Hot Wheels car, a poster of dinosaurs and $100 pesos.... I'll post some pictures of the party when we get to Muertos.

Our current position is: 23 degrees; 23.10' N; 107 degrees; 20.2'W
