Turtle Bay- 360 miles south of San Diego. Lat 27 37, Long 114 60. We crossed the start line on Monday at 11:00 a.m. We sailed for 24 hours with 10-15 knots of wind. The first night was crazy. David and Alli had a real tense night with fog, boats everywhere, and changing winds. There learning curve is very high. After the first day we have had to motor. Wind has been 1-3 knots. The first few days the water was lumpy, however,very smooth now. One night we had lots of lightening and squals. The skies were beautiful.
David and Alli caught our first yellow fin-20 pounds-on Wednesday. David hooked it, Alli gaffed it and Linda and Wally ate it. I wish we would had audio when Alli said "how do I gaf it, and David said how do I kill it with a bat!
The pictures are out of order. They are from Monday to Friday of this week. We celebrated David's bithday yesterday. We even baked a birthday cake on board.
Turtle Bay is a small town of 1000 people. It mainly does fishing. Everyone is really nice in town. Very welcoming and friendly. We are having a beach party today with the Baha fleet and the locals. We saw dolphins, sea lions and look forward to seeing whales and sea turtles.
Angel update. Continues to keep us entertained. She finally did her "duty" after 48 hours.

Hi Wally, Linda and Angel
way to go Angel. 48 hours is a long time to hold it. Can dogs get sea legs? Please give Angel a special hug from each of us including Dodger.

Glad to hear that you made it to Turtle Bay safely. We still meet for coffee every morning, and of course, Stan is there to keep us informed on the latest in the hollywood scene.
I wish you continued success on the remainder of your andanzas.
