A TIME TO REFLECT

During our 47 day adventure, we traveled over 1,800 nautical miles and visited some 20 different anchorages, ports and bays. Our goal was to fish, surf, dive and hike. The mission was accomplished! As Jack wrote in the ship's log, "This journey has been an incredible adventure opening to the mystery and wonder of the big blue ocean and remote Baja."

A wonderful homecoming awaited us as we completed the last leg and day of this voyage from San Diego. Thanks go out to everyone for your prayers and well wishes for our safety and safe return and especially to the Admiral who had to put up with two tired and smelly sailors.

After clearing Customs in San Diego, B-Rad (AKA Phoenix, Master Chin and Jack) gathered his gear and left us. His contribution as crew and cook on the return trip was invaluable.

Our GPS shows 49.5 miles to Dana Point from the San Diego Harbor entrance.

Dressed for success, we entered Dana Point in our cleanest dirty clothes.

TURTLE BAY

Got in last night after a very fishy trip up the coast. We'll be leaving tomorrow for a stay-over at Cedros Island. At the internet shop now for a quick weather and email update.

ASUNCION

We were able to find wifi in town as we waited to have our propane tank refilled. It ran out yesterday and we had to get creative for dinner last night and breakfast today. Weather forecasts are the most important element of this return trip. We have to wait out some funkiness tonight but we'll be headed to Turtle Bay tomorrow morning.

Oh, did I tell you the homemade tortillas are out of this world!
