Where do I start?

Made it to Cabo San Lucas. It is very warm here and the water is

81 degrees. Finally found warm.  How did I get here you ask, well I will try to explain but it is all a bit blurry.
   I picked up Norm and Ellie at the airport and we headed for Mission Bay where we stayed one more night.
Then off to San Diego Bay to a Marina on Shelter
Island.  We had a great spot for the weekend.
Very close to West Marine and the parties as well
as places to get provisions.  Provisioned the boat with
the greatly appreciated help of Mr Jesse.  We were
able to get a guest dock right next to him that weekend.
  It was a great spot and very pretty in spite of being a boat yard.


We pretty much filled the

boat with stuff and
were off to the West Marine Kick Off Party
in our brand new Baja Ha Ha XVII Jasdip hats
and Shirts,  complements of Norm and Ellie.
They saw to it that we had something that was
cute and that matched.  Our green shirts and
flamingo pink Jasdip hats.

 The motley crew just before the start.
Exhausted but happy. Then out to the bay
and start line. It had finally stopped raining.
I swear that from the second day
I arrived in San Diego it rained every night
and every morning.
  Still cloudy but not wet.
As I recall we had light winds and motor sailed out to the ocean and then sailed.
  Ben taught me how to rig the cruising spinnaker
and we got to fly that for a while even.
  The fact that you can't see all of the boat
in the picture is because the swells were a bit large.

  It was smooth sailing for quite a while.

  The next two days, or maybe almost three
were spent rolling with the waves and trying to hold on.  It was quite the exciting ride.  Lots of wind and big swells. Pictures never do it justice.

We ate well and nobody got hurt so I consider that to be a great Leg!
