Topolabambo is so Fun to SayWe had two glorious days of sailing on our way to Guaymas from Topolabambo. 10 or 15 knots from the south, blue skies, cool breezes, magnificent. I bet you think that since we are travelling around in a sailboat that we sail all the time. Wrong. There are sailors who are more persistant about sailing than we are and they will wallow around happy to wait for wind or just not go anywhere until there is wind. They are thrifty and will probably be cruising for a long time. That's because there is precious little wind out there, and when it does blow it's usually to much from the pointy end of the boat. But purists will take all wind in stride and chant "sail sail sail, at all costs". We have a 3 knot rule: when the wind can't blow us to our destination (or close to it) turn on the engine. Our chant is more like "little or no wind, turn on the engine" or maybe it's "we can't get to our anchorage before dark, turn on the engine" or "get me the frack out of this storm, turn on the engine".
