Goodbye San Diego

Yes, that is "Bats in a Bell Tree", one of many eclectic statues that line the bay in San Diego, demonstrating the odd mixture of silly and scary that are San Diego. You can be strolling down the docks admiring the cruise ships, tall sailing ships and private yachts, while F14 fighters scream overhead, taking off from the nearby naval base.

After more than two weeks of SD bliss, winter is catching up with us. The daytime highs are not under 20 degrees C and it starting to be "jacket" weather with occasional threat of rain. So it is time to move on - hopefully the desert will be warm and dry.

Christmas is coming and nowhere do you see this more than here at the marina. An incredible number of boats are decorated with lights - more every day. Pictures just cannot do it justice. Of course this just reinforces the need for us to get moving if we want to make it to Edmonton by Christmas. At the rate we travel it could take a while.

All and all, we quite liked it here and hopefully we will be back next year - by sea this time.
