Steve Dunlap and Meghan Fabulous complete a 923-mile, 15-day double-handed passage down the Baja Peninsula to Cabo San Lucas aboard their catamaran, Some Tuesday, with two pugs aboard. Approaching Punta Abrojos at night, multiple boats hail them on Channel 16 in Spanish warning of dense lobster pot fields; one sailor from Lady G makes the danger clear enough to abort the anchorage, forcing an unplanned 64-nautical-mile overnight sail to Scorpion Bay.1:30 Meghan, who has six artificial titanium discs in her spine, wakes the following morning unable to stand or sit; they anchor for two and a half days while she recovers.6:46 On the longest passage either has made together, Meghan accidentally powers off the navigation equipment while checking the solar system, spinning the boat and ripping the 1,700-square-foot spinnaker in multiple places; the sail tangles in the rigging and extends the remaining passage from roughly 18 hours to 30–35 hours.8:38 They plan a repair at a sail loft in La Paz.11:49 Additional incidents include a lost dorado from insufficient gaff readiness, a rescued sooty shearwater named Destiny released successfully at sea, and a refrigerator circuit failure on arrival in Cabo.12:46 Arriving after 35 hours on the final leg, they cover 923 miles total.16:34 Lobster pot fields near Baja anchorages are not always charted and require local radio traffic to identify.
