San Diego

The 52nm passage from Oceanside to San Diego completes the second leg of our passage south. In total, we’ve completed 1775nm since departing the PNW two months ago (Leg1: PNW-SF 1251nm; Leg2: SF-SD 524nm).

We encountered a pod of playful dolphins and a large amount of marine traffic under moderate fog which did not burn off until entering San Diego Harbor.

We were in San Diego a few weeks to prepare the boat for our passage into Mexico, visit with friends and welcome our friends Dave Elliott and Heidi (Sailing 10X) as crew from San Diego to Mazatlán.

Dear friends made the drive from Arizona to explore San Diego and visit us, the boat and the kitties… It’s always a fun time with the Jochim’s and Clark’s… good friends, good laughs, good food and good drink.

Kris flew down from Seattle to help with our final preparations for the third leg of our trip from San Diego to Mazatlán and our fairy goddaughter sent 47lbs of love… she repacked items and shipped with great care into one box!

Our stay at the Safe Harbor South Bay marina was great. The staff quickly became family and will be greatly missed. We treated them to a pizza lunch just days before our departure to show our appreciation of their exceptional service. Hopeful our paths will cross again.
