Bahia de los Muertos

With the departure of my last crew member, Jim, it was time to move on while the weather allowed. I left San Jose del Cabo at the crack of dawn and motored up to Los Frailes. Since the weather window would soon close, I didn't linger. Had a pleasant night and left early the next morning for Bahia de Los Muertos. It was a bit of a bash at times, and the engine died again. This time it had been running on the 'good' tank. Switched tanks again (back to the 'bad' tank), bled it and it restarted and ran the rest of the way in. Latest theory: gunk was accumulating on the screen for the intake tube in the tanks over time until it blocked fuel flow. Hours later, it would again disburse and the engine would run fine...for about 10 hours. Thoughts? In any case, I made it fine to Muertos and I have been enjoying my stay while waiting for less adverse winds. Spent some time with some Ventura friends and got a surprise visit from my old buddy Curt. A real treat! Also did a bit of exploring, walking, swimming and kayaking. Nice spot with a surprisingly luxurious hotel and nice restaurant.
Although it's pretty far from people's minds here, Happy Thanksgiving all!
