Costa Baja –La Paz Outskirts Nov. 25-27

Yea we made it! It was a choppy ride, just like an afternoon on the bay, but 6 hours long. This is the final destination point for FUBAR and we are all happy to have completed the FUBAR adventure. We have traveled 970 nautical miles or 1055 land miles at 7.5 knots at 8.6 miles per hour, which translates into 123 hours on the ocean. We have seen some magical things. The stars brilliantly bright on dark night with no moon light, shooting stars too many to count, fish Dorado and Tuna both beautiful and tasty and dolphins and whales, the true owners of the ocean. We have met some wonderful people, the folks Tim, Pat, Jerry and Mike on Bodacious, Margit and her husband Bill on Dauntless, Irv and LaVon on “Da Fever”, John and Jan on Dos Abogados, Bob and Darcy on Enterprise who we run into everywhere, Bill and his wife on Inamorata, Brian on Furthur, Abodoulay and Peter on Kumba Bang, Bill and Debbie on Moana Hale, Val and Stan on Pax Nautica, Neil and Tim and their wives on Sanjero, Tom and Anita on Valkyrie, Bill and Linda who we met before on Wayward Wind, and all the others that with such a large fleet we did not get to spend a great deal of time with. Congrats to all of us. Costa Baja is a resort and the crew is making use of the showers, pool, beach and restaurants. Tonight is the traditional turkey, stuffing, potatoes and pumpkin pie Thanksgiving dinner. It is appropriate as we give thanks for a safe trip and good company. Rachel will head out in a couple of days, bound for Seattle and MK and then on to Denver and their new home.
