03/05/14:  Cooper and Susan caught up with "Gypsy Wind" and "Otter", another boat with another boy aboard. The boys are coming over to play today. Looks like we are going to cross to the Baja tomorrow with Gypsy Wind.  It Should be   calm crossing.   Just doing the last few items to get ready.   It's 87nm across to Bahia Conception. I budget 6kn/hour so I figure 15hrs.   We are faster under Sail and slower under power.   As there is no moon I'd prefer to arrive in daylight so we will likely leave around 2am.  There are about 30 sailboats anchored or moored in the bay with us.  At least three are from Montana, one right next to us from Frenchtown and another from Libby.   I guess the word is out, or it's just a good place to be "from" this time of year.
