At long last we have departed San Diego, and a fine departure it was at 0705 in calm seas, clear skies, and bright sunshine. Aboard we have Kevin and Arna, our son and his spouse, accompanying Mary Ann and me on this next leg of our voyage. We were in San Diego a little longer than we expected when we tied up last September, but it doesn’t matter now and we are probably better off for it. As you can see from the San Diego punchlist attached to the web page, we did have quite a few things done and several “…shall I fix this now or wait until it breaks …” type of repairs made.
