Last night was way more enjoyable than the night before. The first was grim: cold, wet and foggy all night and through most of the following day. Last night was clear and warm with a sliver of a moon, a starry sky, and dolphins shooting through phosphorescent seas. It was quite a contrast and a rather spectacular finale.
We're on the home stretch into San Diego. The predicted light wind (no wind) arrived on schedule and we've been motoring through the last couple of nights. It's all very soothing, droning away, hour after hour, while contemplating the pandemic chaos that awaits us. We're looking forward to being done with this trip and yet simultaneously apprehensive about making contact with a changed world.
The night before leaving La Paz five weeks ago, we enjoyed dinner on the veranda of a restaurant overlooking the marina. The setting sun complemented piña coladas and seafood tacos. What a difference a month makes.

Makes me think of a quote from the Grateful Dead - "Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been".
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the journey home! I have so enjoyed keeping up with your travels and learning about life on a boat.
