Let the layers begin!

March 31 6:30PM
Burning embers edge the cloud bank to port; the rugged peaks of Baja to starboard are draped in rosey gauze. We are traveling north, at last, aboard YIPPEE KAI YAY on our delivery home from the Cabo Race.
As promised we had a good 20k on the nose right out the gate. Sue cheerfully saw us off, but turned back at the frothy arches. Once past Cabo Falso it started to wane and currently we have about 9-10k alas still on the nose. The sea state is lumpy (which has not deterred our sleepers below, however) and we're getting ready for our first night back at sea. Cold, damp, chllly - but all feeling well: including YIPPEE. ~ BC
