Shelter Island to Ensenada

0400 We're off to Mexican waters! Sunrise at 0600 and solar panels charging at 0635. Main sail went up at 0715. Calm seas again with light wind. Beautiful day!
We set a course between the Coronado Islands and land. Three dolphins came and rode our bow wake for quite awhile. Still no pictures because Jim & I just layed on the deck and watched them go. What a sight!
The wind just did not pick up like it was supposed to so we motored the whole way again. The seas were just as flat as could be -- perfect power boating day. Getting on toward dusk as we just get to the Marina Coral harbor. Wow what a tiny entrance! Really wouldn't want to meet a boat coming out as you're going in. We pulled in by flashlight and went to pay for the slip. $75 ?!!!! What??? Quite a sticker shock after San Diego. Once we were settled we went out to use the jacuzzi (getting the most out of the $75 fee) and sat in it for at least 1/2 hour. It was a really nice jacuzzi.
On the way back to the boat, Phil points out a Hunter a few boats down from us and says I think that's Jim & Lucy. Sure was! How funny! We didn't see them moving around inside so we figured we'd see them tomorrow.
