Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Thursday 03-20-08 Punta Belcher to Overnighter Heading to Cabo San Lucas ~ Happy Birthday to Stan!

Up and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Stan and had this waiting on the table for him!Got the boat ready to do the overnighter to Cabo San Lucas. I pre-cooked part of dinner and Pam made chicken salad for lunch.
And I made a birthday cake for Stan!(Decorated it underway...)

Pulled anchor at 9:30 and waved bye to "Chogolisa" as we headed out.

Saw a few whales on the way out, but not quite the show we saw on the way in.Always have to take naps when we do an overnighter...


Felt a little rolly after being inside a bay for so long!

Books, Cheese Itz, nothing to look at until late in the afternoon, when the traffic started...
Ships to the left, ships to the right, ships to rear, two whales to the outside, dolphins everywhere.

Had to call one cruise ship as they were so lit up we couldn't tell which way he was going!




Dinner and the birthday celebration!

We even had candles and sang again!

Ate cake, then sent part of the crew to bed.
The guys did watches and let the cooks / cleaners (Pam & Heather) not do watches (even though Pam & I stayed up awhile and I helped Jim attempt to figure out which way the one cruise ship was going...)

Big bright almost full moon and one of the brightest overnighters we can remember!
