HeADING TOWARD Abreojos n26° 32 .60' w 113° 04 .67' sog3 cog216 vmg to waypoint 1.5 1 0600 (-6 UTC)4/22/2019 Clawing our way to our anchorage at Abreojos. 4 - 6' confused seas with
2-3 second waves. Wind speed 20+. Celtic Song is purring away at 2500 rpms with a double reef main. Crew is amazing. Jean on watch now and Francis is preparing to relieve her. Fortunately we ate a good bkfast and tamales for lunch. Thank you Jean. Crew all still doing their daily cleaning tasks. Yes, Bonnie wiped the saloon as she was bounced up and down and back and forth. Everyone is doing well. And Celtic Song is awesome. Love that engine. We are passing San Ignacio Laguna now. I was there a month ago with Peggy, Barry, Sharon, Val and Cheryl. Just on the other side. Hope to make anchor not tooooo late in the evening. Still 25 miles as the crow flies. However we are tacking on our rumbline because hitting these waves square on would be too brutle. This has been the longest 150 miles ever! That's it for now going to rest before my turn at the helm! (The Admiral adds that the name Abreojos is interesting: it translates to “open eyes” or perhaps the injunction “open your eyes.”)
