Motored in calm conditions.

Motored in calm conditions. Caught a Dorado, fish tacos for a couple of days.

Motored to the fuel dock and then on to Espritu de Santo in calm conditions. Anchored next to sister ship "Discovery".

Had a nice stay in Playa Bonanza despite winds in the twenties and a rolly/rough anchorage. Motored to La Paz with the main up in light conditions. Secure in a slip at Marina La Paz. Time to change the oil, clean Stella and reprovision.

We motored the first 2 hours and then the wind filled in as expected. However we had a forecast of 8 to 12 knots and the day turned out to be more like 18 to 20 knots. This makes a big difference when beating upwind. Classic Sea of Cortez short period square waves. Slow progress but we got anchored before dark. We made last line and never had to tack. On the bright side the heel angle created a perfect angles for the solar panels to get optimal sunshine
