THE DAY HAS COME

El Jeffe and the Ranger yesterday bringing Serenity Now from Dana Point to San Diego Bay.

After months of planning and preparation, the time has come to cast off our dock lines and sail south. Monday October 29th will mark the start of the nineteenth annual Baja sailboat rally (Baja HaHa) with stops in Turtle Bay, Bahia Santa Maria and Cabo San Lucas. Today we attended the captain's meeting followed by a barbecue at West Marine. Fortunately it was a short walk from Serenity Now. We were joined by the Admiral, Jen, Sailor Sam and crewman JR.

The first leg is 360 miles. Our shifts will be 2 hours on, 6 hours off. If all goes as planned we'll be in Turtle Bay on the third day. Hopefully I can blog from Cabo, if not, I'll fill you in before Christmas.

Love you Admiral.

Adios amigos,

the capt

Sailor Sam and his entourage.

One happy crew a day prior to departure.
Sailor Sam and JR got in the spirit at the barbecue.
