After weeks of planning, boat projects, provisioning, and getting a milion things done at the home and office I am off for my voyage to Baja in just a few hours. I still have to load the iPod, buy fresh food and ice, and untie the lines and take off. I'll be sailing south today with NW winds 10 to 15 and 3 to 4 foot seas. Temps in the high 70s. Tonight I'll be anchored at South Coronado island, tomorrow in the Coral Marina in Ensenada (total distance about 75 miles). Karen and Heidi will drive down for Friday through Sunday. My oldest daughter, Amy, can't make it she is working this summer at the movie theater (we saw Bourne Ultimatem free last night to kick off the vacation).

After Karen and Heidi leave I plan to drift south a few miles to Punta Banda and hopefully all the way to Puerto Santo Thomas. Then back to the Coral by next Firday to meet my friend from L dock. I'll be sailing home Saturday and Sunday the 18 and 19th.

Look for a major website update in a few weeks with lots of photos and a nice trip log. If you never hear from me again, just play Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and you'll understand.

Sounds like a great trip, Jim. Stay safe and bring us good pics!
Temp reached 101 also here in Nashville today. The thermometer in my car that shows outside temp registered a high of 108 from the blacktop parking lot when I got to the car after work.
We leave Friday, Dave, to move our daughter to St. Louis for grad school. Not looking forward to packing a truck in this temp! Looking forward to a side trip to Lake Carlyle if we have time.

I'm back after a great trip. 210 nautical miles in all. Used 5 gallons of fuel. Pictures and trip report will be up soon. I should be at work today but after a 17 hour beat to windward I am exhausted, sunburned, a little dehydrated, and taking an extra day to recoup.

That'd cost me about 60 gallons.
