The blog shows our most recent photos, but click on a photo in the Flickr link to the right to see some pictures taken during the six months we spent in California before coming to Mexico. They begin on the day we bought the boat and show highlights from our trips to Catalina and Santa Cruz Islands.

Baja 1000 Race activities The race is a 1000 mile loop beginning and ending in Ensenada. This guy had the longest line of fans waiting for autographs, but we don't know him.

Many types of cars participate, including Volkswagen beetles. Alegedly, Lance Armstrong is riding in one of the cars.

Ensenada flag When entering the harbor, you can see this flag from several miles away. It stands near the center of the harbor. We use it to find our way back to the boat when we are walking around town.

Jim at the helm as we leave San Diego. It is cold, and got even colder that night.

Departing San Diego for Ensenada, Mexico at about 5 pm. Islas de Los Coronados are in the distance, the first sight of Mexico. We were under sail for a few more hours after this, then the wind died and we started the engine.
