Baja's trip to North

So at last we had a chance to leave La Paz for San Diego. I had a fever, cough, but with all that i felt myself pretty fine i just needed a long good sleep in a warm and definitely not wet bad, but we so long waited for this trip so there was no chance not to go and leave my dream paid trip behind! So off we went. We left when it was already afternoon and the Captain made a decision to anchor close by in the Balandra bay and start moving at the early morning not to loose any precious time. So that´s how it was. By that moment we had an annoying alarm which was warning us about some non existent problem with an anchor every 26 seconds (i counted)!! That was just a small trouble and little that we knew were other troubles which we were gonna have later. So at early morning we took off towards North and in 6 or 8 hours our auto-pilot just stopped working!! There was no panic, because there were two qualified captains one of which was at the moment of quiting auto-pilot at the steer with me. I want to confess that at this moment I had a silent panic attack!! I ran downstairs to wake up Kevin as he was the main leader of this trip, while uncle Bob was taking care of manual steering, trying to stop circling on high speed boat. Other problem was that the wheel was very difficult to turn - almost impossible. So the situation was already not healthy and there was a decision to return back and fix all those problems. First we again anchored for a night to escape dangerous situation and on the next evening we were back to La Paz, this time at the dock, with keys from hot shower, high speed Internet and electricity for movies and pop corn. And what is important to mention on the way back i experienced my first in life Baja’s bash and unexpectedly for the first time i was more then fine – jumping, catching the ups and downs of waives laughing and being very happy!=)
In two days we again took off but this time i was healthy and the auto-pilot worked and we were more then determine to get this boat delivered in short time and without any complains. It was a great first trip for me, i felt sea sick only once but my stomach was pretty strong to accept this light bash outside and inside. But this time i was already unable to make a lunch for the crew and enjoy it by myself.
Luckely, cellphones of both captains worked and we were able to get the recent weather news and made a decision to wait for the weather in a nice calm Bay with a name Abrejos (open your eyes). This name was given to this bay due to many underwater rocks and cliffs and as we later, with a sunlight understood because of hundreds of small lobster catchers which were invisible in dark but could easily get into the motor propeller and stop the boat. So there quietly and with dolphins we spent 3 long days waiting for the calm ocean. I was enjoying night stars with almost all the astrological signs visible, but unfortunately my sickness partly returned and i was forced to keep myself warm inside the boat, crouching and making jewelry from the wire.
All in all we spent 10 days on the ocean, getting very cold and very wet, watching sea lions and dolphins, eating very easy almost fast food and sleeping on the half wet, jumping with the boat bads. But it was indeed much fun and lots of new information and definitions and of course emotions. I took millions of new photos of sunsets and jagged hills on the Baja’s shore and of course lots of photos of the crew and myself with wide smile and dressed as so as it was a real December in a real North!!))
