We left San Diego Harbor around 1:30 a.m. on Monday, November 7 and arrived in Ensenada Harbor around 2 p.m. that afternoon. It was a slow ride down in 12 foot swells much of the way and a slight head wind. We were able to do a little bit of sailing the last hour or so, but still had to motor to get us into the harbor before it got too late.

Check in was a breeze, other than the fact of the FUBAR making things a bit busy. I recommend that anyone that is planning on cruising Mexico, get all of your paperwork done ahead of time and then check in here at Ensenada customs. After that you will be clear for most ports throughout Mexico.

We got a slip at Cruiseport Village Marina for a couple of nights and will be heading out tomorrow to head further south. In the meantime we are enjoying our time in Ensenada.

We went for a kayak paddle around the harbor and watched a huge cruiseship come into dock. Very impressive!
