Good passage

2/27/15 

Hey, it’s my birthday. Not much sleep last night during the crossing.  It was a good crossing and we sailed for about 7 hours before the wind died.  We were close hauled all night in 10-15 knots of breeze.  The seas stayed reasonable and we only got the deck wet a couple of times.  Dawn saw us 15 miles from the point.  Coming into the bay we saw some whales spouting in the distance.  I thought they were heading away from us but about 15 minutes later one surfaced about 150 feet of our starboard bow. Holy Shit! It was big, maybe 65-75 foot long.  Too big and close for my liking, but spectacular nonetheless.  Dolphins also played in our bow wake a couple of times as we approached the anchorage.  By late morning we had the hook down in Bahia Santa Barbara.  The forecast was for SE to 20 so this looked good.  Susan and Cooper took the dingy out for some beach combing and I took a nap.  The wind and waves piped up out of the NE of course.  I needed a good nights sleep so we moved to a better anchorage.  

Wiz finally at anchor again,  It's worth the effort it takes to get to this point!
