At 2000 the ship weighed anchor and proceeded out of the bay for 
the next stop on our trek, Gape San Lucas, 270 miles down the 
peninsula of Baja California. 
Incidentally, Magdalena Bay, our stopping place for the day, 
at one time served as the training base for the pacific Fleet of 
the united States Naval Forces. It is an immense bay -eighty 
square miles m good anchorage area, which can easily shelter 
the whole fleet
