First day here we just cleaned the boat and sorted ourselves out a bit.  Pretty tired so it we mostly took it easy.   Purchased some sand dabs fresh off the boat and pan fried them on the BBQ, they were delicious.  Still haven’t become comfortable working in the galley.  I need to figure out how best to utilize the available space, and, as you can see I have a lot of organizing to do.

Thursday, our friends Ann and Jeff came and took us to breakfast.  Lulu’s right here on wharf #2, the commercial fishing wharf.  SO YUMMY.  Then Marcus and Jeff worked on the boat a bit and Ann drove me around to pick up a few things we needed.  It was nice to see them again.  They cruised Mexico in their Islander 41 with their family 2003-2005. They have done so much for us, and they always say, that is just what cruisers do!

We have been a little concerned that we could not find the title to our boat, which we need to check into Mexico.  Yesterday was rainy and so we worked on organizing the cabin and securing the various toolboxes etc. that slid around during our last passage.

Still couldn’t find the paperwork and started to think in the rush to leave we had packed it.  We were getting pretty agitated about this when Marcus suggested we contact the company that had processed our documentation paperwork when we purchased the boat.  Within 10 minutes she had emailed a copy of our papers to us!!  What a huge relief!  And of course, we found the original paperwork shortly thereafter.

Rained like crazy last night, so this morning we will caulk the leak that developed over the v-berth.  “Raindrops falling on my head.

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day, we probably will not leave until tomorrow afternoon for another overnight passage to San Simeon.  That will be our final staging area for the infamous Point Conception.
