s/v BOUNDLESS; Colin, Julian, a Passport 42, and a big cruising adventure.
November 14, 15 2019 We were up early off anchor and out of the bay by 4:30 am. We were soon joined by many other boats that had decided to also make the run. Several boats that had children were staying behind to wait out the weather in the bay and would make their way … Continue reading Baja Haha 2019 Leg 3
Bahia Santa Maria to Man “O”War Cove Bahia Magdalena November 13, 2019 This is a new leg to the Baja implemented this year. The idea was that it would shorten the remaining leg to Cabo to two long days of sailing with one overnight rather than two overnights. This leg was considered a non-compete leg … Continue reading Baja Haha 2019 Leg 2A
Bahia Tortugas to Bahia Santa Maria - After a couple days of rest it was time for anchor up and out of the bay at 0700 as we continue further south down the beautiful coast of Mexico.

San Diego to Bahia Tortugas November 4, 2019 We left San Diego in bright sunshine with lots of fanfare around 10:00 am on Monday November 4th.

Day 6 Oct 28 Nice leisurely morning of sleeping in until 0630. Yes that felt like sleeping in Breakfast of hot toasted bagels, cheese and coffee, more hot showers and we cast the lines off in LA Harbor and headed out for possibly Dana Point or Oceanside. Great wind 10-15 knots close hauled, with sun … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – What is a perfect day? Today!
Day 5 Oct 27 Up and off anchor around 330 am. We want to get to Catalina island today so it’s a long day. Many pictures running through my mind of Catalina island! Such beauty. But off in the night to start. Sailing in the dark is new to me. I admit it scared me … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – Dark nights and grey days…..
Day 4 Oct 26 Good night sleep for the most part. Anchor alarm went off in the night but it was a false alarm so back to bed. Really had no doubt our anchor had set as we backed down on it at 1600rpm and did not move so felt we were pretty secure. Up … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – Windlass and Windless
Day 3 Oct 25 In the middle of the night the dolphins were back in full glowing force. They were jumping out of the water and doing aerial tricks before splashing down. It is eery to see them looking up at you as your red light shines down on them. Lots of puzzling lights as … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – Things that blink in the night.
Day 2 Oct 24 The sunrise at 615am was joined by blue skies and wind. Not a cloud anywhere. The kind of morning everyone thinks about when thinking of sailing except for one thing..... it’s damn cold. Everyone waking at different times depending on the watch schedule. Today was a settle into routine day. Eat, … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – Heading south with intent..
Day 1 October 23 Out the gate 1030am. After exiting the shipping channel and turning south, the wind was blowing steady 12-20 knots on the aft starboard quarter trying to push us to a downwind sail. Not a good idea as the wind models showed minimal wind closer to shore. So we decided to head … Continue reading S.F. to S.D – And off we go….
