The next leg implied crossing the Sea of Cortez. With a single engine plane and just a pair of life vests on board I decided to climb to 7500ft to have a bit more time to glide towards the shore in case of an engine failure. We landed in Guaymas for refueling at an airport located between a few hills on the sea shore, a very nice setting. Due to night VFR flight being prohibited in Mexico we only got clearance to Culiacan, instead of our intended destination – Mazatlan. Nice weather so far with just a few clouds and minimal winds.
