San Diego

this'll have to be QUICK, dad's already pulling anchor to get out of here...

a fun couple of days. LA was mean. we went extra long that dayto get through LA, because no one had ANY slips available... once they found out that we were just a little sailboat. the next day we set out, and were stopped by a navy vessel... because we happened to be passing ANOTHER navy base that was doing a live missile launch! what are the odds! this time we were stopped for an hour and watched the fighter jets fly around and heard the missile launch, it was pretty cool. made it to oceanside 2 nights ago and passed out.

yesterday went from oceanside to san diego. the winds were not in our favour. actually, they went against us the WHOLE time, so did the waves. we wound up being at sea for quite some time, and it was rather unpleasant. very slow going. more naval activity yesterday, this time hearing submarines call ships telling them "don't go forward, i'm off your port bow" and seeing TONS of heavy helicopters flying around. 6 or 7 at once near oceanside.

today, to ensenada? wish us good wind, and another wireless port to track down!
