Attempted to leave for Los Frailes on Sunday 11/28 and had a glorious sail for 2 hours going north in 15 to 18 knot winds and 4-5 foot seas. Then the winds increased to 30+ knots and seas built to 8-10 feet and we couldn't make any headway into the wind...so we did the logical thing and turned back to San Jose del Cabo. So we have spent 2 days socializing with other cruisers and doing maintenance. 2 other boats came into the harbor yesterday that were trying to get to Los Frailes also and couldn't due the the high winds and sea state. So we have decided to just cross the south end of the Sea of Cortez and go to Mazatlan. Winds and swells look favorable.

Big Maz coming!

I love Mazatlan. I did not want to come home. Your mileage may vary. Check out Mazinfo for good places to eat etc.

So, hi from Baku. A fairly mellow place, by the way. Light on amenities, but the people are very nice (and the pesos are bueno!).

When you get to The Other Side, visit Belize. You may never leave.

Cheers,
