200 Miles to Go

We left Cedros Island last evening around 8pm and arrived Isla San Jeronimo this afternoon around 12:30. The overnight part of the trip had calm winds and calm seas making for some good time. We were originally headed to San Carlos, but about 5 miles out we (us, Manana, & Brendon) decided to make good use of the flat seas and head on up here to San Jeronimo. The part of the passage that got interesting was the last part. We had to pass inside the "dreaded Sacramento Reef", in fog, with pangas
running all around - we had about 1/4 viability. Good thing for radar and the fancy function called "trail". Brendon was in the lead since one of their crew had run this route before. We were able to follow their trail right into the anchorage. The anchorage at Cedros was very pretty, but very noisy. That part of the shoreline is home to MANY sea lion, seals, and elephant seals. It was really neat to see an elephant seal in the wild - they are really huge!!!

Our current plan puts us in Ensenada on Monday afternoon and back to SD on Thursday. We plan to hit the customs dock around 3-4pm.

Our current position is: 29 degrees 47'N; 115 degrees 47'W.
