No problems on Di's Dream except....

Rog and I arrived in Cabo San Lucas feeling very smug. No problems on di's dream on our trip down from San Diego although there had been numerous problems on other ha ha boats. There were dislocated hips, bow sprit that broke, spinnakers lost overboard or blown out, and a broken boom. Tragicly onene boat was lost when it when ashore just north of Bahia Santa Maria. It was not on the ha ha but was out of the San Francisco area. We were not able to assit in the recovery due to my physical limitations but our positive thoughts followed our friends that went to assit with the dismantling of the boat.
We sailed into Cabo around 9am on a thursday morning under rather blustery conditions after a beautiful third leg of the ha ha. Just the afternoon before we had been sailing the spinnaker for over four hours at eight knts in very smooth seas. Overnight the conditions became very light and we had to motor until suddenly we saw 20 knts with gusts to 25 knts as we rounded Cabo Falso. I was feeling very lucky to have a slip inside the marina. There was no rest and no trips into Squid Row for the boats out in the anchorage that night.
After a quick trip to the harbormaster and an expensive stop with the immigration officer we were free to do whatever we wanted. Well--- the fist order of business for di was to was all the sheets and towels on board. Two loads went without a hitch and then load number three went in, no so good. The washer just said no more! So now we were stuck with very wet and soapy sheets that could not go back on our forward berth for our next guests. Not a good situation and no sympathy could be found when other boats really had more serious problems or so they thought. Di could not do the wash on her boat and the thought of having Roger take all the cabinets out in the shower was not good. For now the washer is just looking pretty and will be fixed if possible once we reach Puerto Vallarta.
So at the end of the day Rog and I are very happy with our trip from San Diego to Cabo. We had great sailing conditions with hours on end of spinnaker runs under ideal conditions. We arrived in every anchorage with some daylight left, Rog had promised me we would always arrive in daylight, caught lots of fish along the way, and ate great meals the entire way.
