San Diego to Ensenada

11/17/14 – 11/18/14

70 Nm; 19 hours; 4 hours on motor

We left Pearson's fuel dock on Shelter island around 1300. Sean and Steve, our friends on TABLETALK, a Hunter 27, followed us outside the channel for a few miles as a nice sendoff.

Wind was a good 10 – 12 knots and seas were pretty flat, we made much better time than expected and wound up within 20 Nm of Ensenada around 2100, at which time what was left of the wind gave out. We drifted around for several hours to kill time, then motored into Bahia Todos Santos. We were tied up at Baja Naval by 0800.

Ensenada Approach

We did the paperwork shuffle at the CIS and a few small projects on Jumble. Some hang-ups on our paperwork stretched it to a second day (to avoid double charge after 1430), but otherwise not too strenuous despite our awful Spanish.
