Schooner Martha Adventures: Bound for Mexico!

This week has been a blur of work and play getting the boat ready for Mexico. From provisioning to washing and drying all of our light air sails for storage, the week in San Diego has just flown by. We generally did work day in the morning, and then afternoons off to play! We are almost done serving the lifelines (just one section left!), did a huge under floorboards vacuum, deck wash, and fresh water rinsed 5 golleywobblers and our spinnaker so that they could be stored for the winter and not grow interesting science experiments! On friday, we had a whole crew day off and we spent the day playing on the beach, and body surfing the waves. We ate lunch at an awesome burger place called "Hodads" and sat in the front of an old VW bus that they have inside the restaurant. I ate one of the best BLT's I have ever tasted and shared an equally tasty chocolate shake with Mary. And because that wasn't enough good food for the day, Steve (an old wind surfing buddy of Robert's) decided to have a celebratory thanksgiving meal before we headed south! All the works, good friends and a little wine contributed to an amazing night. Thank you Steve!! Over and over again. We leave sunday around 3 to head for Ensenada to clear into Mexico and then we move onto Isle San Martin for Thanksgiving and then continue working our way down the coast to Cabo. I will update when we arrive there (with hopefully lots of pictures!).
