Just Waiting

For those of you that are wondering what's going on-----not much. We spent the first 10 days making phone calls, and moving around while trying to find a months moorage, no luck while Baja Ha Ha boats were still here. We did find 10 days at the city dock but I'm still on the phone looking for moorage for the last 10 days.
The Baja Ha Ha boats (192 boats) left Mon. the 26th for Mexico and Tues. at 4 P.M. 200 miles south of San Diego one of the boats hit a whale and sank in 5 to 7 minutes, all aboard were rescued. Yesterday a Marine helicopter and a Coast Guard C-130 collided off of San Diego, so far no survivors found.
Weather is a little cool for San Diego, daytime has been hi 60's to low 70's and nights are mid 40's to low 50's but it's suppose to warm up 6 to 8 degrees next week.
I replaced the chock that we had torn off in the Delta, had to fix a diesel leak at the starboard fuel pump and clean up the diesel in the bilge, did some sanding and varnish, on the phone trying to get the last of our paper work done.
Our phones will be shut off Nov. 13th so contact will only be by e-mail or on the blog, so it may be sporadic, only when we get to an internet cafe or a marina with wireless internet.
We did see two BIG sailboats come in and watched a yacht pull out of it's slip into the bay so it's helicopter could take off (FAA wont allow them to take off while the boat is in the slip) pic's to come later.

  1. hey guys, you must be "chomping at the bit" to get underway! Hope you're enjoying some of San Diego. I lived there for 2 years and really enjoyed it.
    Safe travels,

  2. You guys continue to amaze me. Not sure if I could do what you do. Hang in there and let me know when you find the perfect margarita. Think of us here in ~~cold~~ Montana while you're enjoying the warm. Hugs, Janet
