Bahia Santa Maria
The passage from Turtle Bay to Bahia Santa Maria was 240 miles and took just under two days. We were about the 30th boat to reach the bay out of 164. I thought that was pretty good considering There were several 60-80 footers and some small race boats with large crews. As usual Wiz sails really well and comfortably.
We dropped anchor at about 10:00 pm and in the morning we were surprised and happy to see our friends Peter and Leigh on Marcy. We met Peter and Leigh two years ago on our trip around Vancouver Island. The water temperature is now 78 degrees so we are swimming!! There was another beach party and Cooper got several trips to the beach where he just loves to play in the surf, chasing and being chased by the waves. We chose to stay behind the fleet for a day and just relax in this beautiful bay. The following day with only 5 boats in the bay was relaxing. The next day Susan was feeling quite out of touch as we had been without phone or email for nearly two weeks so we left for Cabo.
