The Crossing

We left Mazatlán for the Baja Peninsula at Dawn and by sunset we'd made it 1/3 of the way across. Wind blew 15kts across the bow, close hauled, and this continued with building seas until 8pm. Winds diminished after that, and at midnight we fired up the diesel.  Here's a sunset video...  

You may notice the jib is partially furled.  The main was reefed too.  We're still using the training wheels;  6 knots felt fast enough.
