Underway

Getting Ready
Deb and I have been planning to buy a sailboat with the intent of pushing off for the Caribbean Sea for 14 years.

push off time
I knew we were getting serious when we sold our Audi Convertible, but has pushed us over the line was the day that Deb brought the Christmas Trees and her Santa jammies to the Salvation Army. A long time ago a friend of ours advised me to never get between Deb and her Christmas Trees. Although there was a short conversation about how to bring a tree with on our adventure, reality has now set in. We are doing this!
The first leg of our trip will be to sail from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. We are planning layovers in Ensenada, Turtle Bay and Magdelena Bay along the way. This time of year a huge migration of whales occurs on the California side of the Pacific. We are looking forward to visiting the birthing grounds for whales of Southern Baja and initiating our voyage into the Sea of Cortez. The water will be warmer.
