Crossing over to the Baja side

Made the crossing from San Carlso to Punta Chivato on the Baja side last night.  Big winds some of the way and got to sail all but an hour on the 75 mile crossing.  Unfortunately the winds kicked up some 6 foot rollers from the northwest and that put them pretty much on the beam of the boat, so it was a really rolly sail.  Didn't secure all the stuff on the starboard shelves, so that got spewed on the floor.  Tried to secure some stuff below but staying the cabin created instant Mal de Mar and I felt queasy most of the ride.

Right now I'm anchored up southwest of the point and its really calm and quiet.  Should get a good night sleep.
