Windy night at Trinidad, Heading for Kino, May 13th, (Sun)
Cruisin North to Kino Windy night at Trinidad, Heading for Kino, May 13th, (Sun)
Yesterday (Sat), we were all slow readying to leave Huge tanker loading Gypsum for making drywall board near mine 15 miles north of Santa Rosalia (photo right) Heading north, we first saw a large 25′ whale shark. They are slow gentle plankton eaters with beautiful spots. For the next 3 hours we had a steady stream of sea life heading south including whales at a distance. No fish on our two trolling lines though… (3:30) Here it comes!! Playing cards, we spotted a white cap wind line ahead. (5:30 AM Sun) Anchor up at first light and we began our 70 mile crossing to Kino Bay. Wind was blowing a cool off shore breeze @ 15 all night. Crew under blankets. Seas are flat and we have 8kts from SW as we sailed out of the Trinidad Pacific wind line.
(10:00) 3 miles SW of I. San Pedro Martir and we find pods of whales & dolphin feeding in a small area. Dolphins came (11:30) winds @ 10 from the SE allowed us to fly dual head sails and back the motors down. As we sailed south of I. San Pedro Martir another pad of frisky dolphins gave us our best ever show. Are we at SeaWorld?
Happy Mother’s Day…The Gato Loco Crew.
