The last leg was the shortest and of course it ends up in Cabo San Lucas - the great finish. We had some great winds - most of the time, we would drop the kite before my watch because the wind would die. Yes, I was that lucky. This time the wind stayed strong around 25 knots all night which was great.
It takes some getting used to driving Crescendo when used to fast light boats - Nathan certainly has more experience than I do. I enjoy learning curves.

Our last spinnaker leg - we then went wing on wing with the poled out jib clocking 11 knots through the water. Not bad for a 30,000 pound boat!
Nice set up for the engine. Easy to lift up.
Enjoying the day and the wind
Jibing on Crescendo meant socking the kite, moving lines around and unsocking again. Nice and easy - except that we had to also worry about running backstays
Happiness takes 20 knots of wind, a spinnaker and a boat...
Keep your kite full
Half of our start line is running away
Daniel feeling the power of the boat. The bow is a great place for that. You can really feel the weight of the water that needs to be displaced

Great going that day. I loved it.
