Escondido

3/11/15
After School, we decided to sail to Escondido, largely driven by a desire to do some laundry.  It had been blowing to 20 the day before and looked like 15 or so.  It’s a 15 mile trip and we decided to sail even though it was dead downwind and 5-6 foot seas. It was a little rolly but hand steering not too bad.  At the end of the trip the wind died a little to the point that the rolling got bad enough that Susan started to feel poorly.  Pulled around the point and She started feeling better immediately in the flat water.  We’ll probably be in Escondido for a couple of days.  We don’t really like it here but it’s the only place between La Paz and Santa Rosalia to get laundry, provisions, and fuel.  We’re right at the mid-point of our trip so it’s a good time to re-provision.
