I assembled the crew's breakfast this morning: oatmeal, fortified with some leftover from the last time we had it, and chopped dried apples. No one knew where the raisins made off to, or even if we had any left, so I chopped up some dates and threw them in instead. I served it with a bowl of chopped walnuts, chopped canned peaches, and a large jar of home grown yogurt. Sprinkled with brown sugar, it was delicious.
Our to-do list is light today. The sun is out, so the solar panels are making electricity while the watermaker fills the fresh water tanks. We're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this trip. We're waiting for heavy weather to die down before departing tomorrow morning on what might turn out to be our last day of sailing. Sometime tomorrow night the wind is forecasted to die down for several days so we'll do a motorboat ride the rest of the way into San Diego.
Eric got word from the Mexican embassy yesterday that they couldn't advise us on whether to stop at Ensenada for clearance, since each port was adhering to is own policies. Given that the Port Captain for Turtle Bay wouldn't allow us off the boat, we're resolved not to try stopping at Ensenada to clear customs. We might just find our way clear of Mexico in four or five days!
