Bahia Tortugas


November 3, 2016 to November 5, 2016

From Ensenada to Bahia Tortugas (Turtle Bay) we have traveled 292 miles, 54 hours, 23 engine hours, and approximately 31 hours of sailing.  We ran the water maker twice for a total of 7.5 hours.  On average we make 18 gallons per hour with the engine running and a little less when sailing.  We have noticed that the water here has less particulate matter than up north.  Our filters have not needed cleaning or changing.



 Fog lingering on shore.  Day one we had limited visibility on and off due to fog.


 Sunset on day one.   At night we keep a log of the longitude, latitude, heading, and speed.

 Got one!  We get a quick look at it before letting it go.

North shore off our anchorage.  The dinghy is ready to go.



While we wait for the wind to calm down we are entertained by the fishermen at work.  Here they are casting their net and below bringing in the catch.



We wanted to visit the community at Bahia Tortugas, but the wind never let up enough to go ashore.  We had to be content watching the activity on the water which included a flock of pelicans.
