We arrived in Cabo San Lucas yesterday around lunchtime. We will stay in the marina here for a few days. It's a tourist town for gringos. We went for a stroll in the afternoon and every bar near our marina had American football on large screen TVs. Last night in our berth we could hear the thumping music from the clubs on the main strip. It's a party town!

Bahia Tortuga about 2 days ago and had robust sailing conditions that got us here quickly. Probably depart for Cabo San Lucas early Saturday morning.
