Los Muertos

We left Cabo early in the morning to do the 45 miles to Los Frailes. We were sailing on a nice beam reach but wind soon switched to a head wind that soon built to where we were motor sailing to make headway. Soon the wind and waves got so bad we decided to turn around as we knew it would be a lot worse as we rounded the corner to head up the sea of Cortez. Part way back to Cabo, the wind died so we decided to turn around and try again. We passed where we turned around previously but soon the wind and waves were even worse and right on the nose. We were taking huge amounts of spray over the boat, I had to dog a couple of our windows tighter as they were starting to seap water. It was dark now and we decided to turn around again but as we did boat motion was comfortable so we hove to for a 2 or 3 hours and then conditions eased considerably so again turned north towards our anchorage at Los Frailes. We arrived just as it was getting light and as we entered the bay saw two whales at the same time leap complety out of the water and come down with a huge splash, and then every couple of minutes they breached again and again. I guess this was our reward for pushing on.
After dropping anchor we went to sleep for a few hours and went ashore to explore and stretch the legs. We hiked up the local hill scrambling up the steep rocks (see picture)and squeezing around cactuses. Later had a dip in the warm bathtub outside the boat.
Stayed here 2 nights. Then left for los Muertos all rested up, this leg of about 43 miles went easy, calm all day, sailed only about 6 miles of it. Anchored of the sand beach and with many cactuses along it only a dirt road in here and a few resort looking buildings and wow, managed to get a internet connection from the boat again, so I could do this. Should be in La Paz 2 to 4 days.
