En-Route to Isla Isabella

We left Mazatlan this morning around 10:30. The forecast was for winds 15-20 knots from the NW and as we are headed SE, great. Once again, the forecast was a bit optimistic. Winds have maxed out at 15 knots and then only briefly, most of the time we have had less than 8 knots. We have sailed most of the time with the motor on for only a couple of hours but it has been very rolly. The winds are from the NW but there is a small SW swell that keeps us wallowing around like a wounded duck. We are under motor again just now and we will se how long it takes the wind to pick up again. It's 21:00 and we are less than 40 miles from the island so we will likely heave to for a an hour or so to wait for daylight to enter the anchorage.
