We made Marina Coral in no time this morning. It was a shorter run than we'd thought, so we were tied up, checked in, and had lunch all before noon - not bad!

We definitely feel close to home now. Most of the boats in the marina are new boats from Southern California on off-shore deliveries. Boats put in Mexican waters immediately avoid additional taxes. So, there's lots of nice boats here. But, we'd have to say this marina is not so nice though. We're of course comparing it to the other marinas we stayed at in Mexico. The fairways are really, really narrow. We pulled in, and it was almost a "you've got to be kidding" moment. There was a boat in a 35 slip that looked nearly 40 feet, so we had to maneuver around it to get to our slip. This, of course, in an already narrow fairway. Next thing that probably put a bad vibe in us about this place is a man from the marina came out to help with our lines as we pulled in the slip. Normally this would be a good thing, but he pulled on our line way too much and the bow (front) of our boat went crashing into the dock! A chunk about the size of a quarter is now chipped off the gel coat leaving an ugly black indention. Oh man! Wish we would've just handled the lines ourselves. That way if something went wrong we wouldn't have felt so bad about it. Normally someone helping you with the lines is a good thing, but today it wasn't so good for us.

So, we'll stay here tonight and tomorrow and be off first thing Wednesday morning. Our plans are to get into San Diego by about 4pm on Wednesday afternoon. That means we'll have to leave the marina before daybreak that morning, but it's only 63 miles till home!
