On our first morning in San Diego, we were awakened by someone knocking on the hull shortly after 7 am. The security people on the Customs dock told us we needed to be moving along. Since the marina wasn’t open yet, Mark decided to take us for a ride and show us around San Diego harbor. The skies were overcast and the temperature was in the 60’s – we all had our jackets and long pants on. The tour helped us orient ourselves to the area and see some places we might want to come back to and explore further.
Around 9 am, we made contact with the marina and received a slip assignment. We headed into Kona Kai Marina, Slip F1, and with Mark’s expert piloting skills, he had us tucked into our space while the crew secured the lines. We were happy to bring Adventure to her new home. After catching our breath, we walked over to the hotel near the marina and relaxed and enjoyed a wonderful brunch.
Following breakfast, it was time to clean the boat. Mark, Gale and Craig washed the outside while Diane and Maureen cleaned inside. We quit around 4 pm and by then, Craig’s wife, Janny, had arrived from Santa Barbara. She was planning to stay the night and then she and Craig would leave in the morning. Mark and Diane’s daughter, Jennifer, came to the boat about 7 pm after she had finished work. We were all pretty tired and not interested in getting dressed up to go out, so we had pizza delivered. After dinner and a little conversation, Gale and Maureen bid everyone goodnight and turned in.
