11/2/2011 -- BSM to Cabo

The sailing on this entire trip has alternated between really shitty and piss poor...We got underway from BSM this morning at 0300 and motorsailed out to a windline and tried to sail for about an hour...motorsailed for an hour, tried to sail, repeat, repeat, repeat...It's now about 1300 SD time and I've finally given up...we're motorsailing mostly toward Cabo...the wind is 6 knots directly downwind so we can't even motorsail the rhumbline to Cabo, we have to jibe off 20-30 degrees just to keep the main from flapping around!

We're really in the tropics now...it's about 85 degrees with a water temp of about 80...we should be in Cabo about 1200 tomorrow...
