As the sun began to rise in the east, Grey Wolf was gliding over smooth seas as she navigated the southern crossing of the Sea of Cortez on November 22, 2008. The sky had been a bit brighter before the sun actually came peeking over the horizon, marking the end of Alice's watch and the beginning of another turn at the helm for Bill. It took a total of 32 hours to travel from La Paz, BCS to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, some 240 miles. Later in the morning some small sea birds decided to hitch a ride with us! Bill was not too thrilled with that, since they leave less than fond memories behind... so once I had snapped the above photo, I wrapped a black length of line around the railing and, voila~ no more bird landings! They flew over, but never touched down again... did they think it was a snake? Hmm We plan to be in Mazatlan for about a week and take in Thanksgiving while we are here.
