While clearly not the "last" last day of my trip, it is the LAST day of what I think of as the cruising portion.  After today I'll be at Cabo for a short rest and some shoreside exercise before I head out on the repositioning adventure.  I've heard so much about the bash I've been sort of dreading it, but it's the next obstacle so it is gotta be dealt with. 

I am about 23 miles north of San Jose Del Cabo after a relatively quite night at Bahia Los Frailles. I had to "encourage" the battery to start this morning even though the last several days have been going smoothly.  It's still a nasty mystery and I'm fairly certain it is composed of more than 1 gremlin. On the plus side, as soon as I was getting under way there were a couple of whales surfacing close by to start the morning off with right sense of contended wonder. 

I have an appointment to stop in at the Puerto Los Cabos Fuel Dock at 1200 today if I can make it.  I won't have any time to lose, but I should make it on time.  Then a quick but painful $1,000 fuel bill and I'll finish the last 2.5 hours and get anchored in Cabo San Lucas before dark. I have a special bottled beverage designated to enjoy after arrival tonight. Hiccup. Thankfully it won't be green. Sorry to all my Irish fans.

In yesterday's 7 hours under way I experienced 3 completely different oceans.  The morning getting under way was a blustery, gray, white capped menace standing between me and the next stop.  Two hours later it was a sunny, windless, rolling calm playground for whales and jumping rays. Then the last hour or so was a deep rolling swell, wind on the beam, when can I get around the point and out of this mess choppy challenge to get into the anchorage.  There was no dramatic transition between the conditions and I found myself suprised each time I realized how different it was from the last time I noticed.  Hopefully today will continue as it started with a light wind, small, short period wind waved, sunny clear day. Hopefully.
