Traveler Postcard From San Diego
\nJune 30, 2010<\/p>\n

We\u2019re back in the United States of America!\u00a0 After a very rough Baja Bash clawing our way into the wind and waves, against the current and up the coast from Cabo San Lucas, Traveler is safely in the Guest Slip at the Southwestern Yacht Club, where we are very much enjoying our stay. The club was recently totally rebuilt and is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Last night Barbara and I took the dinghy across the San Diego Bay to Joe\u2019s Crab Shack for dinner then walked over to Petco Field to see the Colorado Rockies play the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n

After a whole world full of amazing experiences in 61 foreign countries on six continents over the past 36 months, it felt strange NOT to be in a third-world county.\u00a0 San Diego is one of the world\u2019s greatest cities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having mixed emotions about the voyage coming to an end.\u00a0 To be sure, I am more than a bit travel weary and ready to return to reality.\u00a0 On the other hand, I will greatly miss all of the exciting ports of call and days at sea.<\/p>\n

Tonight, at about 11 pm, we will cast off the dock lines for the last time and depart San Diego and motor through the night to Catalina, arriving there Thursday morning, and staying at anchor at the Balboa Yacht Club\u2019s station at White\u2019s Cove for two nights, Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 3, we weigh anchor for the last time and cross the Catalina Channel, an easy 26 miles and the final leg of our 30,000+ mile, three-year, around the world voyage.\u00a0 We expect to arrive at the entrance to Newport Harbor at about 1:40 pm, where we will be joined by some friends in their boats as we cross our outbound track and complete the circumnavigation by docking at the Balboa Yacht Club for our Traveler Homecoming and Crew Reunion Party, beginning at 2pm.<\/p>\n

Hope you can join us in the celebration.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nMichael, Barbara and Brian<\/p>\n
