Not what we bargained for

October 27, 2004
At Sea, N 28o 59' W 116o 03' (approx 110 nm NW of Turtle Bay)

According to the Baja Ha-Ha add copy most Ha-Ha miles have been light and all but one leg has been down wind. The leg we are on now is neither. We are beating into a 20 kt southerly after motoring all night into a 10 kt southerly. Not fun.

Should still be in turtle bay tomorrow, probably afternoon. Wind is supposed to increase, then die when a cold front arrives, then shift to the NW. We may be hove to but then.

We had a good day yesterday though. Caught a tuna and two yellow tail. Had the yellow tail for dinner last night, excellent!
No fishing today, too rough.

Everyone reading this should wish for lighter winds :-)
