Wow! SanDiego is a beautiful place. Stayed at LaJolla and Mission Bay several times back in the day and Coronado Island is awesome. Tricky situation for sailors in SD because if you sail north, you stay in US Territorial waters indefinitely but heading sound, you’re quickly into Mexico and require the formalities of International travel: passports, visas, posting flag, clearing into customs, etc. And re-entry back into the States. I don’t know whether that’s a big deal, especially if your papers are in order and you’re sailing for several days and nights. But something to consider. I’d certainly advise that in our coastal cruisers, I would not make any long offshore passages. If you do keep an eye out for the weather because the Santa Anas can make your life pretty miserable and making progress back upwind very slow. Further, it’s good to carry about 2X the amount of fuel that you’d plan for. I figure 1 gallon per hour. A day’s sailing upwind back to port can take a lot of gas!
