168 Sept 10 Thu Towards noon we came within sight of Cape San Lucas and at 3.P.M. rounded the jagged point. We were much closer in this trip and could better see the point. The country is very sandy and desolate. Around the point we struck a good sea and wind coming head on. Many flocks of Northern Red Phalarope were flying and alighting about the kelp beds near the point. Sept 11 Fri. The whole day spent in sailing without sight of land. The Sea heaving and we are not making our customary progress so we will reach Ensenada next Sunday 9.00. The weather is much colder and fog prevails throughout most of the morning.
