Still waiting in SD

If you've ever sailed or motored into 20+ knot winds, after looking at this weather prediction, you'll appreciate why we're still here in San Diego.

This is the model for 12Z this coming Sunday (4am PST), and it predicts south winds from 27-33 knots. So that's why we'll be here until sometime Monday, when the wind starts looking something more like this:

Now, doesn't that look nice? That's 4am PST Monday. It actually starts getting more westerly sometime late Sunday night, but here you can imagine the 11-15 knot west and northwest winds pushing us gently into Ensenada, and then, after checking into Mexico, the north winds to push us down, wing-and-wing to Turtle Bay. Ahhhhhh....
