Three Ring Circus

16 October 2010 | San Diego

Ok I know it's been a while since I've written we've been so busy there's no time for writing. We made it to San Diego 3 weeks ago. Spent a couple of days in Mission Bay and the rest of the time anchored across from the Coast Guard station. It's like a 3 ring circus...cruise ships every other day, the Navy ships in and out, CG helicopters overhead and Navy Seals swimming under the boat.
Someone asked me if it was warm here in San Diego and was I still wearing my foulies? I told them I had takin' the foulies off...as a matter of fact I'm sitting here naked as I'm writing this...how's that for a picture? It has been much warmer until a couple of days ago. My buddy Jim Zapref flew down and brought that crappy rainy Portland weather with him. We are having a blast...Zoo, Midway, Seaworld...you know all the touristy things. One week before we shove of for Mexico...thousands of things to do...I'll try to right before we leave. Adios
