Long Beach to Ensenada


Left Long Beach the morning of 10/13 with Joe and MaryLou Upton and Mike  and Kathy Jackson on Anna.




Not much wind, but it was warm and sunny.


The first night we were at Dana Point.

                          Next night San Diego Yacht Club.

Left San Diego in Fog on 11/16 6am.

Arrived Ensenada 4:30. Cold and sunny.
View from the Cockpit

Our dock right on the Malecon
Turns out we don't have one document that we need to clear customs so it is being sent "UPS Overnight". We are hoping we can leave Sat. 11/20 or so. Anna left today (11/18). In the mean time there is plenty to keep us entertained:
Margaritas at Hussong's
Wandering the streets near the marina.

Large Noble Fir from U.S: $120 (Made me a little homesick)
The start of Baja 1000 was in Ensenada today ...............................pretty exciting!

North to Southeast Alaska

Our old friend, Roger, invited us to join him (as crew) on his first leg home from Sitka to Seattle. We did the first leg (and most scenic) from Sitka to Petersburg. He has been heading north on a boat from the Seattle area every summer since he was a little kid so he knows the area well. We flew into Sitka (arriving at 3PM), got a taxi to the harbor, jumped into the skiff, headed out to the boat, and we were on our way to Kalinin Bay on Kruzof Island for the night.  (Jim's hat says "Where's the Fish") The next morning we headed north and into the Pacific along the Khaz Peninsula, inside Klokachef Island, up around Khaz head and then various anchorages around Baranof Island, Admiralty Island and Kupreanof Island. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we did have some sunny days, mostly calm waters, lots of wildlife and good fishing and beautiful scenery:

North to Vancouver Island..........

 ........this time on our van aboard the Coho Ferry to Victoria. It was a really fun week visiting old cruising friends and for Jim to see old haunts from his time living in Victoria (many years ago). The Coho ferry leaves Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and arrives in downtown Victoria in one and a half hours: We drove up the west side of Vancouver Island then cut across to a wonderful Provincial C ampground on Gordon Bay on a beautiful lake. The Provincial Campgrounds are big and very well maintained. From Gordon Bay Campground we headed to Nanaimo to hook up with Bob and Gisele Coffey (s/v Relax) where we spent the night. We did a lot of catching up, took a couple of walks around the ponds surrounding their neighborhood and then headed up to another BIG and Beautiful Provincial Park:Rathtrevor Provincial Park about one hour north of Nanaimo. We spent two nights "buddy vanning". . From there we drove (along with Coffeys) down to Shawnigan Lake to visit Ian and Diane (...
