We arrived at about 5 .30 am into the Marina at Ensenada (31:51.749N 116:39.713W), pulled up at the Fuel dock and fell asleep, to be woken by the local pump hand at 8 am. We then checked into our dock (surprisingly the marina is pretty empty) and then went into town to start the check  in and importation procedures for Mexico, this took us 2 hours. Then we rewarded ourselves by visiting the Fish Taco bar recommended by a local, it strange to see the town empty, as all of us usually remember Ensenada from the party after the Newport to Ensenada yacht race in April each year which has 400 + boats invading this port for one weekend. Now rested and just sorting out things on the boat, ready for tomorrows run down to Turtle Bay (or at least start).

I have added some pictures from our departure and sail down.
