San Diego and holding for now
Well we made it into San Diego Sunday night. Had an alternator burn out so that got changed with minor problems. The current plan is to sail out of here Thursday morning with a few days spent sailing locally just checking things out before heading south (providing there are no more problems with the equipment). I think Kenneth is leaving us here so Duane and I will be the crew. No internet in the marina so I'm in a coffee shop downtown.

A long way around
We finally rolled into Santa Barbara last night 15 days after leaving Alameda. Following is a short description of our travels to this point.
Hello
This will be my main method of communicating with friends back home and around the world during my cruise.
The plan currently is to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge with the morning tide on Oct. 21,09 and turn south. Stops are planned in Santa Barbara and San Diego before crossing the border into Mexican waters. First long stop is planned to be La Paz, Mexico where we will start exploring the waters of the Sea of Cortez.
