After a great Mexican breakfast, bacon and eggs, and a quick trip to the marine store, we are off again. Bob and Hal fixed the watermaker, replacing a plug that died from galvanic corrosion. The plug was easy to replace, the only problems was getting at the plug. They removed the front panel, which means removing several hoses. Back together and working well. Hal also ordered a new pressure gauge and flow meter for the watermaker. We should get them in Dana Point, and we will replace them there. The rest of the boat is running very well. The weather report for today is winds from the west 5 to 10 knots, and seas 3 to 5 feet. After leaving Cabo we rounded the corner, of the famous rocks and bang into big swells and high wind. We stayed close to the beach, and the winds have died to about 10 knots and the seas have been smooth until know. My watch is just over and I am writing is before I hit the rack. I will write more on my 04:00 to 08:00 watch. Back on watch again. Just went around Point Tasca, This is the area where the Nordhavn 62 went ashore, I think. The entrance to Mag Bay is just 16 miles or so ahead. The weather, and the seas have been fine on this watch, so far. The water, and the air temperature has dropped. Way down to only 60 degrees. Hard to believe, but when I was here in mid February the water was 72 or so at Mag Bay. The air temperature is just a guess, but I would say about 66 or so, maybe colder. I can get US marine weather from Oxnard, but it does not have much real marine information. It will be better in 100 or so, when I can get both LA and San Diego weather. I have been listening to the AM radio bands tonight. Almost six years ago, when the three of us were on our first trip together, I listened to election coverage all the way down to Mag Bay. LA has clear channel AM radio 1070. I have not got that station, yet this trip, but other clear channel stations come in well. I have to close the laptop every once in a while, to look around, and check the radar and the AIS. All clear, this time. Bob's AIS receiver has been working very well. It displays CPA, Time to CPA, Speed and Size of vessel, as well as what type of vessel. Also included is the name and MMSI number, which we can use to call the vessel on radio directly. Cuts down on the radio traffic a lot. The only radio that gets your transmission is the one with the MMSI number programmed in. This AIS receives only, and I think in the future, most boats will have full AIS as standard equipment, just as a radio, or radar is today. On this trip, I would say about 75% of the boats we see have AIS. It is required on vessels over 300 tons. The sun is just starting to come up over Santa Margarita Island, about a mile to my starboard, as the moon is just going down on port side. Looks like it will be another nice day. I have long pants on this morning, for the first time since I arrived on the boat. Feels kind of funny. I also used a blanket for the first time last night. Life is full of changes. After a month of being too hot, know I will be too cold. I am not really complaining, just giving you the facts. It is 06:30 and I need to go back to work. I will try to write more later.
