After a week of projects, planning, a dry run at hauling up our dinghy , and vet appointments, it was time to get off the boat! Yesterday morning we took off for Ensenada to check out the marinas. After getting stopped at the border and undergoing a cursory inspection, we were on our way. The drive down the pacific coast was spectacular. Along the way we stopped in Porta Salinas,a small marina in the middle of nowhere, we have a friend living aboard there, so we had to check it out. The wind was howling at about 25 kts, we walked the docks and heard the various histories of the derelict vessels left to die.
On the road to Ensenada...no traffic, a little construction, 20 minutes and we're there.
Not many tourists, we walk down the docks, and instantly, the vendors are alerted! The people were great, unfortunately there is the endless parade of street merchants selling the same things. People trying to make a living. Anyway, we went to all of the marinas in Ensenada, Cruiseport is it. Good security, helpfull staff, and protected from tidal surge better than anywhere else in the bay.
So, 2 weeks until departure, lots to do...........
