Ventura to San Diego

Nov. 7 we leave Ventura in the night after staying at a great Yacht club. Very nice people, make you feel at home. One night free moorage and the rest at a good rate.
Had a great visit with Patty, we went out to the stables and seen all the preperation for the horse show. If you think boating is expensive take a look at horse shows. Need to spend more time with Patty touring the shows.
We are off to Avalon on Santa Catalina island. The navy is out playing "war games - this is warship 083 ", give me a break, as we shake our heads. We tie up to a mooring ball in Avalon, which costs us more than any place else we have been at. Toured the town the next day, everything is closing up, the tourists are going.
Nov 9 depart Avalon and heading for our last stop in the US. - San Diego. Decide to anchor in Mission bay 20 miles north of San Diego. Very nice bay, just like being at home, no swell.
Nov 10 arrive at San Diego at the municipal docks. This is were all the Canadians are, flags all over the place. We meet lots of people that we have been crossing paths with down the coast.
The next few days are busy preparing the boat for the crossing into Mexico. Food, fuel, fishing licence clearance papers etc. We are ready for MEXICO!!!!!
