Cabo to Bahia Los Frailes

March 14, 2013

We left Cabo before daybreak and had a several hour passage, mostly motoring, to Bahia Los Frailes. The highlight was, well, you can tell, WHALES!

Logbook – March 14, 2013 (Cabo to Frailes)

Passage Log Highlights

  • 0530 Started both engines
  • 0536 Attempted to radio Port Captain on VHF 16
  • 0550 Departed Cabo
  • 0751 Slowed for fish
  • 1400 Arrive at Bahia Frailes

(Edit: We always tried to follow the rules and trying to radio port authorities when we were supposed to and always check in an out when we were supposed to but we quickly learned that rules change and are not even always enforced.)

(Edit: Kind of funny that I documented that we slowed for fish.  I wonder if at this point I was annoyed or just bored.  Tim and I would later have more than one argument about him yelling at me to slow the boat down when there’s a fish on.)

Jumping fish.  These were everywhere!  We soon learned they were small rays.

This was such an amazing sight! There was a whole pod of whales between us and the shore.  They were surfacing and breaching, and they put on quite the show for us!
