and we're off!

Mexico here we come... This morning we made a quick trip to town to get some mail, buy some blocks for the staysail boom, and some alcohol fuel for the heater we picked up (we wish we'd had one up to this point... may not need it again, but we're prepared if we do!). I went snorkeling to check the prop and change the shaft zinc and just check on all things underwater... then we all had a shower at the yacht club. It took awhile to stow all the stuff that had accumulated in the cockpit, stow the dinghy on deck, set up the windvane, etc. etc. Then we motored over to the fuel dock to take on 100g of water, 81g of fuel, and ran across the street for the last wireless connection for awhile to send/rec. mail.... it's amazing we actually made it out of there in the daylight! The position reporting link is up and running... www.imaginecruising.com/web and click on "where are we now" to see our current (or last reported) position. Also, there's a new page in the Log of Imagine with the story and pictures of the San Francisco to San Diego leg. We're heading inside the Coronado Islands, then probably straight for Turtle Bay (Bahia de Tortugas)... should be there in about 3 days.
