update
A quick update. We have had a personal matter come up that needs our immediate attention. We are unable to join the rest of the Baja Ha Ha fleet at this time. We hope that this will soon be resolved and will continue to keep everyone informed of our travels. To those headed south we wish them fair winds! We will be that way soon.

Sailing San Diego Style
Today we took "Hand Full" out for the full tour of the bay. This was a different experience as the "bay" is quite a bit smaller than San Francisco Bay. There is only one bridge to cross under and hardly any current to speak of. The wind is fairly light and there are a LOT of power boats zipping by...(Joyce it is like perfect lazy day sailing weather). We took and sailed past the various shipyards which I am sure some of our friends who are military enthusiasts will enjoy as well. The boys took turns with the binoculars and it was cute to watch and hear them talk "ship".
( Jim and Kara if you are still reading the blog I have to tell you that I think I have seen about 20 BIG yachts that would make you drool...I swear one of them had a pool on top!!haha )
I hope to explore the city if there is time and see what the wharf is like here. I still haven't gotten used to the amount of military pressence both on the water and in the air.
Daisy, Winnie and Foster enjoyed the easy sail. Daisy sat up in her lookout spot as we passed by the ships being built or repaired. The pups also had a good time wrestling topside.
While sailing past the city we happened to look across and saw that the "Sand Man" had left his mark on the shore. That guy really gets around! It was a good relaxing day. It was warm enough that we took down all of the side panels. It was great to feel the warm wind in my face...until night, than I had to put them back up as I am now an official "woose" and start to get cold and have to put my hat and scarf on when it drops below 62 degrees!!haha...(Stacy I don't know how you do it....you deserve a medal!).
Tonight we are back on anchorage. We are going to be going to the meetings setup for the Baja Ha Ha fleet tomorrow followed by a costume party. It will be neat to meet everyone. Some we have only spoken to briefly so I am looking forward to having a bit more time to chit chat.....oh and as far as the costumes go, watch out! I will have my camera ready!
And now for more photos....I am taking advantage of my internet card....while I still have it so enjoy the eye candy!...(not that kind!!haha).

A day at the beach
Yesturday the whole family hopped in the skiff and went to do a little exploring in Coronado. We took a quick tour of the town, grabbed some post cards, and headed to the beach. What a gorgeous beach it was. The sand was white and ever so soft on the feet! I haven't been in sand like that for a long time and it was very exciting! The whole family got to stick their toes in the much warmer southern Cal ocean!
One thing I didn't expect to find was a very unusual "shell". I always walk the beaches looking for "treasure" but we were all surprised to see the "so cal shell."......it was a 9 mm shell!
We met a local..."the Coronado Sand Man" whom asked us to promote his Myspace page self titled. This little old gentleman walks around with sand and a dustpan and "paints" the sidewalks and streets with his art. He will take donation but doesn't ask for it. He was very sweet.
We watched the beautiful sunset and realized the resort behind us must give out complimentry robes...there were a lot of robes on the balcony...it was cute!
Someone had paid ohmage to the boob god's and made a lovely little sand castle de boob.....no it was not Neil...haha!
Oh, I am just really enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of the area. The weather is quite pleasant even on their "cold" days. I don't think we will be heading back north any time soon! And now for the pictures......
