Mariachias Anyone?

We continue to get ready for the trip south.

We had a fine day yesterday(Saturday). I had a captains job with Harbor Sailboats. I took out six people from Minnesota for a harbor cruise on the bay. They said it had snowed two days ago at home. Thank goodness we live in San Diego. We sailed a Beneteau 323. We had a wonderful sail. It was a little windy, 18-20 knots, so we put a reef in the jib and the main sail. We cruised from Harbor Island down east to the Maritime Museum and the Midway aircraft carrier then tacked back up the bay to Ballast Point and out to the end of Point Loma.

I called Claudia when we were finished and asked if she wanted to go sailing. She said it was about 95 degrees in El Cajon and she would love to get down to the bay and get cooled off. We sailed our boat around south Bay and had a fine evening sail. The sun was setting over Point Loma, the breeze was dying off the Silver Strand Beach and we were ghosting through the dog leg that led to our slip in the California Yacht Marina. We eased Fiddler's Green into her slip just as the first stars were coming out in the eastern sky.

It was around 8 PM so we decided we better go out to dinner to eat. Decisions, decisions: where should we go? We were in Chula Vista so why not Mexican food. Great idea! We drove up and down Broadway looking for the right place. We saw cars and people milling around a restaurant named "El Camaron-Mariscos", so we decided to stop. Fine decision. We sat at a small table by the bano and watched all the people go by. A Mexican band was playing with guitars, and accordions. Everyone was speaking Spanish.

Truly we were preparing for out trip south.

Spanish word for the day: bano-bathroom
