Los Frailles, MX - November 2008

Los Frailes

Forty five miles north of Cabo San Lucas is a pretty, sandy cove with good protected anchorage that acts as a place for those going further North eventually to La Paz or for those crossing the Sea of Cortes for 166 miles to Mazatlan. Our sail to Los Frailes was a BEAT. What! We had not been beating since we left the Strait of Georgia. In went the dodger windows and we settled into 15-20 kts with slightly steeper seas than the Strait of Georgia (Its shallow here). A comfortable sail, we realized our years of beating in Georgia Strait were evident. We watched a ketch power sail into this sea and knew we had a more comfortable ride. On shore we could see several tents and learned some university students were here studying turtles. Again, good warm water for swimming was here.
