Via Italia Trattoria!

Last night we spent a glorious evening with Lois and Tom Hirsh (Steve's brother). Graciously, we were invited to experience a fabulous evening with their friend Paolo. Paolo and his wife own an authentic Italian restaurant located in downtown Encinitas. The evening, without question qualified as FUN and the food, wine and entertainment pure Italian. Yep, we are definitely preparing for the Baja Ha-ha. Amy arrives on Saturday, the skippers meeting on Sunday am, costume party Sunday evening and Monday am is the start of leg one from San Diego to Turtle Bay.

Going Green!

Sunny San Diego

Steve and I arrived in San Diego on the 15th. At this point there is not a whole lot to report except the adjustment to boat life and city life are going well. We rented a Smart car much to the dismay of Steve as it does not quite handle like a F450, but it is economical and FUN (which is our theme). At night we have shrimp munching on our boat hull and we are sleeping well. We both ran yesterday, toured mission beach, and today we have the first Baja gathering. Sorry about the absence of a photo the transmission is in failure mode.
