Slogging north

Good morning from Sauvage. This morning finds us just off of San Quintin in pea soup fog with a lumpy sea and 12 knots of wind. Yesterday morning we left from the south side anchorage of Cedros island and chose to go up the east side because it had blown hard all night to the west. We cleared the north end around 10:30am in very nice conditions. Towards the afternoon conditions deteriorated and it was very wet and windy all night, contrary to the forecast. Remember also that we don't have a dodger on the boat, so the person on watch is continually drenched. Suffice to say it was a fairly miserable night for all, but we survived crossing the Cedros bight. We're hoping for better conditions today. All is well on board.
