Mission Bay Here I Come

   Well I had plans for an early dinner and sleep

but I guess things don't always go as we plan.My neighbor came by in his dinghy and asked if I wanted to catch a movie....then confessed he

had seen the movie and really just wanted popcorn.

 We chatted and I told him I could make

him popcorn.  Alas it was a delightful evening

and I really enjoyed our exchange, I mean really,

enjoyed it.  Alas.....complications...and I waved goodbye in the AM.  He raised my spirits and  gave me hope though that

there might just be someone out there that I could

share some time with.

I didn't leave at 4am. It was just too dark and

cold.  So it was around 6am.  There was

no wind in the am so I motored and tried to book

as fast as I could since Ihad 64 miles to go.

  Got to  Mission Bay as the sun was setting.

Man it is hard to see where one needs to go

until one is right on top of the entrance.  I looked

and looked but it wasn't till I was very close that I

actually saw the entrance.  While I was crossing

there was a pod of dolphins that stayed with me for almost an hour.  I finally went below to get a sandwich and stopped talking to them and they

left.  I could hear them talk and I tried (good thing I was alone) to answer them. God they are beautiful!!
