Even though the last few days have been overcast and scattered showers, we've had a great couple of days on the boat.

After Oceanside, we popped in Newport for a night mooring off Balboa Island. I love Balboa island and Newport just for strolling around and dinghy cruising. There's a lot to see, do, and nice place to relax on the boat while seeing lots of stuff happening on shore.

We left Newport just in time to catch a small amount of sprinkles with some ominous dark coulds overhead. Actually, I think we just missed the downpour. It got rather windy (27 kts at 8am) so we though we'd be in for quite a ride over to Catalina. Lucky for us, the wind died down a bit and Catalina greeted us with sunny skies in the distance.

We sailed up to Oceanside on Saturday, and as we were taking a stroll around the marina guess what we saw....?

Our old boat! Yes, Gail Force is alive and well and now stored in-water! She was a great little boat for us so we were excited to see that her new owner has taken great care of her!

Our friends on Zephyrus called last week to wish us "happy 1 year" entry back into the US and completion of "the Baja Bash." We were so happy to hear from them - but I can't help but be reminded too how quickly life just zooomms by. We're amazed it's been a whole year since we got back. We're posting this picture of us, Zephryus, and Windblown at San Juanico at Punta Pequena --a great little surf village on the outside of Baja. We loved this sign! Sailors spend so much time "watching the weather" by listening to the HAM weather reports that we thought this sign was perfect! Keep it simple!
