ola amigos!


November 22nd!...22nd of each month...my day for those who know me ;-)
Ensenada!...we've arrived yesterday night after a long day of sailing that
started at 4am...ouch!...went back to bed after a while I have to admit and
Mike the captain did the same after my nap but...still can't trust me and Apple sailing by ourselves 'cause he didn't really get any sleep and just rested..worrying like a good captain would! ;-)
It was amazing...dolphins coming along to greet us and I found out my favorite thing in the world...playing guitar on deck! peaceful and fun...now that's music to my ears!
Today we rest...do laundry...not that glam! 8-) ...and as Mike is working on our magic vessel
I take some time to catch up with my friend Aya on Skype...gotta keep in touch with
friends when possible...
We'll be getting ready to sail down south to warmer waters and beautiful places in a few
days...can't wait!
Ok then...back to the boat now and maybe off to buy some fresh delicious fish in town!
love you all!

the adventure has begun...

We've sailed away!
leaving Los Angeles was a surreal moment...the sky was on fire and after almost 6 years
of life in LA for me...about the same for Mike...there we were leaving Los Angeles...by yacht!
And as we leave...one of the first people I've met in this town calls my name from the ocean
...from a kayak?!...odd..crazy...lovely LA....
So here we go...Mike, Apple and I...first stop Catalina!
Some anchoring, diving, kayaking, and a visit from Greg...the metal guy...no, I'm not referring
to music, he makes metal parts for boats and we were missing some last minute things so...Greg sails to Catalina...
Here we are, but as we try to enjoy the freedom...still emails, phone calls...the city, the business
really don't want to let us go ;-)
Anyhow...nice days...sunny days...seals and dolphins are with us!
talk soon...sun is setting...we leave for San Diego tomorrow at 5am...sailors go to bed!
ciao
