Wow, I love fastseas.com. I should have written this. I’m definitely paying for a month of this next weekend. They have good support for the inreach.

Here is the prediction for the first leg of the bash, from Cabo to Mag Bay:

Look at how good that is! Not much wind, which means some motoring, but the system is predicting that we’d be able to beat into it. There is only a 0.3kt current!

So it looks like if we hurry to Cabo, we have this quite reasonable weather window. I’m so excited!
