Finally Cruising!

|

It was awesome to get back to the boat and settled back in. Thanks a bunch to our boat neighbors Jan and Chuck for picking us up at the airport. We’re lucky to have great friends in San Diego.

After quickly unpacking our stuff we spent a night aboard at Fiddlers Cove Marina and cruised over to Pier 32 on November 21. We met up with Natalie’s Dad and his wife Pam for the weekend. They made the trip out from Arizona to visit and help us with final provisioning.

Sully's Grandma and Grandpa visited for the weekend and helped us so much with provisioning runs and watching Sully. They made him so happy by going to the National City Trolley Depot! Thank you for your help and the visit!

Sully sat on his dock steps one last time. We don't need these while we're cruising! We'll be using our dinghy boarding ladder to get on and off the boat.

The watermaker is a SeaQuencher 200 and it's installed and putting out water at about 7 gallons per hour.
