Bumpy and Lumpy

Cipango gets this wacky rhythm going where she rides a few big swells up, then down, up, then down - building a little speed each time and then on about the third wave - bammm! (different from the Emeril "bam!")

So, that's been the story for the last 4 hours or so... On our way across Vizcaino Bay towards shore. Engine seems to be running hot, so we've throttled back and hope to get into flat(ter) water and check/add coolant.

Congrats, it looks as though your half way to San Francisco. Sorry to hear about "Bumpy and Lumpy". Hope a southerly fills soon and flattens the sea for the remainder of the voyage. Stay safe. Rob.
