| November 2009 - San Diego to Puerto Los Cabos, B.C.S We departed San Diego late on November 11 to time our arrival at Ensenada the following morning. Clearing into Mexico at Ensenada was relatively painless and after refueling, we left Marina Coral the following afternoon for Magdalena Bay. This second leg of the journey took approximately 4.5 days where we had mostly good wind between 10 and 20 knots. After anchoring one night in Santa Maria Bay, we spent a second night anchored just inside of Magdalena Bay before departing for Cabo San Lucas on Nov. 19 at noon. We anchored the following evening in Bahia de San Lucas just outside of the Cabo San Lucas Inner Harbor. After rising the following morning to the sound of surf on the beach in front of a row of hotels, we set sail again for the Puerto Los Cabos Marina which is about 15 miles east and then moved further east to Los Frailes to anchor, rest, and snorkel for a couple of days. |

Mag Bay, a local panga fisherman came
by and offered these small but delicious
langosta (lobster). Steaming for ten
minutes is all they needed.
