12/6/2013, Friday, Santa Rosalia

Once again.... early morning departure from Santa Teresa, 70 miles to Santa Rosalia; hopefully before dark.
As we left the anchorage, we were escorted by a pod of dolphins (always a good feeling!), The sea conditions had improved, but not much wind, it looks like another motor sail. The rest of the day was uneventful (always a good feeling!), and it looked like we wouldn't make it to the marina before sunset.

We were right. It was dark when we came into the marina, with a light NW wind. There was no one at the docks to lend a hand, so we made ready to handle it on our own. I turned into the slip just a little too far from the dock, and the wind just pushed us across the slip, all of a sudden we were diagonal in the slip! My worst docking to date. Luckily, no one saw it! We tied her up and we're here, safe and protected from the approaching 3 day wind storm! A few days of cleaning, provisioning, and of course internet.

I've tried to catch up the blog as much as possible before we leave tomorrow, Karin is going to add some photos from Santa Rosalia. It really is a beautiful little town, great restaurants, taco stands, and nice people.
