There are some days ahead that shows good wind from San Diego to Ensenada. I’m still waiting for mail from Canada, a third Victron 170 Supercycle battery, DC to DC charger and a “grocery getter” type of wagon (good for schlepping diesel and water too)!

Today, in my zodiac, I’m heading to Shelter Island to pick up odds and ends for the boat. As well, I’ll make a stop at the fuel dock on Harbour Island to fill up my four Geri cans with diesel!

My new portable Delta 3 inverter/battery and foldable Eco Flow 220w solar panel is amazing. It charges phone, IPads, computers, etc. in no time and the lithium outboard motor for the zodiac in 3 hours from almost empty to full! I highly recommend this product for any recreational set up! Solar power and inverter has come so far!

Every morning I get up, row into the city, walk to coffee shop, catch up on news and stroll through “Little Italy”, the best part of San Diego!

.. today, I landed in North America! Today, I am one harbour away from leaving North America! Goodmorning❣️

Today we were toured around by Tatjana, a Bajahaha sailor…. see you in La Paz!

🙏🏼thank you❣️

It was full of decomposed seaweed! Engine will be happy!

But…. now the strainer lid is leaking! It’s never straight forward with boats! …. easy fix😊

While waiting for hurricane season to be over, prepping for Mexico, we’re growing healthy bacteria for our guts! Sourdough bread is baking, kefir culture is being made, kumbucha is brewing, garlic is pickled and wine is being drank❣️

San Diego has been a good stop; loading up on nuts from Costco, baking goods from Vons, mail retrieved from Canada, boat parts from Sailing Mecca, Shelter Island, and expertise advice from various sailors! Every day, I swim off Sarantium and I find somewhere interesting in SanDiego to walk to…

The anchorage is starting to fill up with “Bajahaha” sailors who are waiting for hurricane season to end (Nov 1st ish) in southern Mexico! A few are heading to Ensenada, MX, earlier, to dock at marinas. others are hanging out here where it’s free anchoring!

Evening ….

I forget what season it is!!!
