The boat was mounded with stuff above and below: boxes, tools, clothes, packaging, cushions, parts, food, wrappers, dog biscuits, lines ... every inch was covered with all sorts of junk. Paul sat in the middle of it all, smiling ear to ear. He and Pamela are the nicest people, and are thrilled (despite the normal what-the-heck-are-we-doing jitters) to be making their long-term cruising dream come true. I am just as thrilled to be joining them!
We leave San Diego Monday morning, for Turtle Bay ... after a day or two there we head to Bahia Santa Maria, and after a day or two there we continue south to Cabo San Lucas. We and 195 of our closest boat friends. I expect it to be a bit chaotic, a lot of fun, some great sailing experience for us all, and a bit crowded in the anchorages!
After Cabo, we'll turn left and head up to La Paz. That will be the sweetest part of the trip I think, when the air and water are warm and we can swim and snorkel in the Sea of Cortez! Look for me back at home around November 11...
