Back to the boat -
2013
We arrived back to Time2 on Tuesday after
a rather long and uncomfortable trip. Flying from Cape Town to San Diego
took about 35 hours, via Johannesburg, Dakar and Washington DC. We then spent a
night in a hotel before our driver Raphael picked us up for the 150km road trip
down to Ensenada. Crossing the border into Mexico was painless ... drove
straight through.
All was well on the boat and we have been
sorting ourselves out - sometimes at 5am, as jet-lag is still with us! Ten
hours time difference plays all kinds of havoc with our internal
clocks. Its mid-winter here, but the sun is shining and other than it
being cold at night, is very pleasant. Cruiseport marina is the same, with the
friendly staff, many of the same live-aboards and the daily Cruise Ship
traffic. Mike and I have taken a few walks/ bike rides around town to
get provisions, boat bits and to hunt down a Poncho for Mike's son-in-law Gareth
.. and here it is!
 We have scheduled Time2 for a haul-out
next week at Baja Naval - a very professional looking yard - close to this
marina. The bottom paint will be re-done and all the other bits under the
boat checked. While all that is being done, we will take off for a few days
skiing at Mammoth, a ski area close to Yosemite National Park in California. We
have had our ski-gear stashed away on the boat for over 3 years, and are
now ready to go.
I had a request from some friends to do an
overview living aboard Time2 - showing the interior - which will be my next
post. Love to all at home, we miss you already
