Fairy Dust and Other Stuff

First the Fairy Dust.  We had it and won First Place thanks to Ann and her friend Chuckie's work on our costumes for the Baja HaHa Costume Party.   I may never live it down, especially if the pics hit Lattitude 38, but at least in my role as Tinkerbell I was wearing a wig, so I'm sure no one will recognize me.  (See if you can pick me out in this picture).

Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Crocodile and Tinkerbob

OK, glad to have that over with.  Now we can get down to the sailing.  We start tomorrow off Point Loma, San Diego at 1100.  Approximately three days/nights to our first stop at Turtle Bay.  Two day stay which includes a fun Beach Party and then leave for a two day/night leg to Bahia Santa Maria where we stop for another two days with a great Beach Party, then a final one day/one night leg into Cabo San Lucas.  Should finish about November 3rd.

We're all looking forward to getting out of this fog.  Everyone has been remarking at how crummy the weather's been for the last several weeks.  Let's hope we get some sunshine as we move South.  I checked the weather for tomorrow and there's a chance of rain for the next 24 hours.  Oh, well.  We're sailing.  We have beer.  We have Nori for making sushi.  I just found a store with the killer lure we used last year until a big fish took it.  We have the makings for lots of good distractions even if the weather isn't perfect.

OK, that's it for now.  The next post will be via shortwave radio/Pactor modem in a day or so.

    May the sun, indeed, shine. And the winds be at your back. But watch out for the alarm clock and the crocodile!

    Your winning the costume contest was never in doubt, with Ann's sticking skills and Bob's legs. Wishing you clear weather as you move southward. Looking forward to more updates.
