We left Cabo San Lucas on November 9th heading to Los Frailes which is our first stop on our way to La Paz. This really was the first day of our cruising life since up until now we were still on a schedule and in the company of what seemed like a whole city of boats and people all with the same goal of making it to Cabo San Lucas. It seemed strange to be without our crew (Marcus and Stan) and to have left the HaHa fleet but Mark reminded me that we have been on our own and dealing with all the challenges of living onboard and moving the boat for many years and of course he was right. As soon as we pulled anchor and put up the sails it felt great to be out on our own again and have the freedom to go wherever whenever we felt like it.
The seas out here seem very flat in comparision to the pacific side of baja but the wind which built to 18 knots in the afternoon and blew right on the nose reminded us that this still is the ocean and the challenges still exist. Once behind the headlands and protected from the strong north winds Frailes was a welcome stop for us.
Sitting on the beach here seemed almost like a dream especially after spending several days in the mega tourist area of Cabo. We plan to spend at least one full day exploring this are before heading to Ensenada De Los Muertos on Wednesday.
