David Bowie and 2 AM On Watch (how I stay awake)
2nd night on this leg; up on watch while Mikey’s sleeping downstairs. Much easier to stay awake tonight, a combination of smoother seas, stronger coffee, and better music. I was finally able to get most of my music downloaded to my new music player. No land in sight, all alone out here – perfect...

Laundry Day!
We did laundry at Lavamatica Brisa, a few blocks away from the marina. We give it two thumbs up. It was very clean and the woman working there was really friendly. Mikey went to fill our diesel jugs while I waited for the laundry....
Checking Into Mexico
Easy-Peasy! We made sure we had all the necessary paperwork before we arrived and Victor at Baja Naval helped us to complete the process. He even accompanied us to the customs office! Thank you Victor! There was no line and the process took less than an hour....
