Cabo San Lucas

Yeh!!!!
WE DID IT !!
This sail was warm nights, the best winds, some cruisers said the best they had in 2 years. most gentle swell and a full moon many ships to steer by. this passage was truly the best so far.

Rounding the point  to Lovers Cove, the famous cabo Arches was something else. We crossed the finsh line at 11:30 am, and broke out the champange.  yes another daylight landing. big cruise ships 3 of them lined the harbour , (a little intimadating fishing charters weaving in and out of us sailors(about 8 of us coming in together) with lines out. welcome to civilization!! Cabo  The party town. of mexico. We still can't believe we are doing this and once in awhile it doesn't seem real. as we sit having morning coffee anchored off  some of the nices resorts that would scare you with their prices but we sit here for free on the hook enjoying the same view. Talk about a waterfront property

Stepping ashore it is clearly a wealthy mans place and we won't be staying to long. did the laundry and the groceries and checked into mexico got our tourist card and boat papers etc. we good to go 6 months clear.
we partied at Squid Roe and finished with the Baja Ha HA group now and will be sticking together with a few newly made freinds  for further adventures. we will  replenishing with fresh provisions and water and desil for the next few days and we have now aqiured an air stick for internet at most times so we will be able to comunicate ( pick up email at krestovaclayworks@shaw.ca ) well all you landlubbers you may think we're crazy and some down right insane,  Sailing is not and easy life it not the picnic everyone thinks it is its alot of hard work and presonal streching, life in tight quarters. maintaining the mechanics, saftey, navagation, weather, anchoring, watches in night passages, but the rewards are at this moment feel great  and here we are  fullfilling a long held dream.
