On Our Way

Hi Everyone,

On Our Way

07 January 2014 | Leaving Newport Beach
Ed/Are You Kidding Me Nice
Hi Everyone,
We have set sail (motor) at 11a.m. this morning to La Paz. Dick arrived yesterday as scheduled but our plans to leave Newport Beach were delayed for 24 hours as I discovered that the universal joint that spins the mainsail up and down had lost a screw causing strain on the other supportive one and the joint needed replacement. Fortunately with a few modifications a local sail loft provided a new one and we were off. Conditions could not be better with 75 degrees,10 knots of wind and flat seas. Even Dick has avoided his seasick meds!
We will be sailing all night in order to arrive in Ensenada in the a.m. and will then check into the country.
Barb is feeding us well, tonight it is a chicken stir fry with her world famous pistachio nut bread for dessert.
We will try a post from Ensenada because after that cell coverage will be minimal at best for the next 600 miles.
Best Wishes to all,
Barb,Ed,Michael and Dick
