Guess which boat I'm on...

Great sunrise this morning. Too bad it happened after I spotted this field of nasty in the water all around the boat. Don't know exactly what it is or where it came from, but WTF Cabo?!?!! There's nothing cool about dumping into the ocean.

There goes my morning swim.

We are now enjoying the entertainment while anchored in Cabo San Lucas. Silly pirate ship tours complete with fiery sword fights, DJ spinning techno, colorful lights and a chatty MC.

Wrapping up in San Jose del Cabo. We've finally got a new alternator installed and working. Time to stop spending money in the marina and go anchor in Cabo San Lucas. We'll stage there and wait for our next opportunity to get around the corner and up to Mag Bay or Santa Maria.
