Arrived to San Diego… and found Adrian, two months after leaving Nanaimo!

We motored out from Avalon around 10am as wind was low and forecasted at 5 nm per hour between Catalina Island and San Diego! Wind popped up pretty quickly and again we were enjoying it on our beam! We sailed for 14 hours straight! The closer we got to San Diego the more freighters, tankers and warships we encountered! We arrived into San Diego harbour in the dark and anchored outside the police station (in an illegal parking zone). I slept in the cockpit until 08.00 when a police boat was doing donuts around us! We motored in to the police dock for inspections by police and to report arrival with the boarder patrol! It all was done in a couple of hours and we got our permit to stay in their non-residency anchorage, A9! First boat I saw in A9 was Kittywake!
