		<title>Ahora estamos en Mexico</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[writing this at the nav table, in a slip at Baja Naval, Ensenada, BC, MX; these are some disconnected notes and observations regarding the 1.5 day passage from San Diego to Ensenada]

We departed San Diego mid-day yesterday, in an attempt to time our arrival at Ensenada during the following day.  At first, the wind [...]]]></description>

		<title>drinks and a toast from Jon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Karen and I have been really excited by the number of people sending a drink our way, cheering us on, and we intend to put up pictures etc for each one under the &#8220;Drinks&#8221; page.  We&#8217;ve been busy taking care of logistics still, so we have a lot of catching up to do, in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>SPOT tracking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The AIS tracking feature has been a big hit as we&#8217;ve travelled down the coast of california, especially with concerned family.  However, once we leave the country we will be out of range of the shore-based AIS stations, and we won&#8217;t show up on the map except maybe in very popular international ports.
At the request [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Diego</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been here four days already; we intend to depart on Tuesday.  So far our San Diego m.o. is to wander around running errands and looking for parts.  There&#8217;s a fair amount of logistical leftovers to deal with before we leave the country, mostly bills and taxes and online crap.  Even though [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye &amp; thanks to Pete &amp; Ray</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pete and Ray hopped a ferry on Catalina to catch a plane out of L.A. this past Saturday.  Karen and I are extremely grateful to them for joining us during the first leg of our journey.  Their mere presence on board to assist with watches would have been more than enough, but their assistance extended [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anchoring lessons in the channel islands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We made a lazy departure from Santa Barbara mid-morning on the 17th.  Our priorities for the passage were to avoid motoring if possible, and to make our next landfall (wherever it might be) during the daylight&#8211;no more anchoring during the dark if at all possible.  The first half of the day was the [...]]]></description>

		<title>AIS&#8211;worth every penny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[an example of why the AIS has been awesome.

In the middle of Karen and my night watch between Santa Cruz and Catalina, while we were still on the edge of the shipping lane, we were enveloped in dense fog.  I aimed us out of the shipping lane and turned on the radar, but the AIS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s the happiness?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When picturing our departure from the bay area, I always imagined a rapid sense of relief at the work being over, followed immediately by simple happiness and enjoyment of the journey.

It has not been that way.  I have been reluctant to admit this to everyone, because my deep fear has been that I made a [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Leg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this post from a cafe in Santa Barbara.  We left the slip in the Emeryville Marina on the morning of Wednesday the 10th, filled our diesel tank with fuel, then motored straight out of the bay.
For the first 24 hours after pulling out of that slip, I was constantly waiting for something to [...]]]></description>
