Bahhia Asuncion

Well we left Bahia Santa Maria yesterday morning just after 9 am. We just dropped our hook here in Bahia Asuncion just around 5:30 pm today. We had every variety of wind you can think of during our trip. We had sustained 22 knots late in the afternoon and dying down to 8 knots in the early morning. We decided (along with Manana) to come in here instead of Turtle Bay since we could arrive here during with daylight and Turtle Bay would be after midnight. Apparently there are alot of lobster pots
near the entrance to Turtle Bay - and you sure can't see them at night! We'll leave here tomorrow morning around 4 am and head the remaining 48 miles up to Turtle Bay. The weather continues to look very favorable for continuing north, so we'll most likely depart Turtle Bay on Friday morning heading for Cedros and then on to San Carlos on Saturday.

Our current position is: 27 degrees 08'N; 114 degrees 17.13'W
