While driving from Phoenix to San Carlos and Wiz, I saw this message many times. "Modere su velocidad" So that is what I'm intending to do. Reduce my speed, enjoy the journey and not focus so much on reaching the destination.
We left Phoenix at 5am and breezed through the drive to San Carlos arriving about 1:30pm. We stopped by Wiz in the dry storage yard first. She is not in the work area as we intend to go directly from storage to launch on Friday morning's high tide. Wiz looked good. Really dirty and a little more dust than usual below, but otherwise not bad on initial inspection. One bummer noted is that the LCD on the SSB radio looks like it got cooked in the heat. Hooked up the battery charger and solar panels. We then unloaded a large part of our stuff. At this point all that we own pretty much fits in one jam packed mini van.
After visiting the marina office we checked into a hotel, showered, and went to JJ's, our favorite restaurant. Carne asada tacos!!
We walked around Marina San Carlos. We ran into a couple on a boat from Seattle which knew my parents, unckes and many people we know. As we were talking we met Heather from Carumba and asked if she knew of any boats with kids. Score! kids on her boat and another. "Would you like to come meet them?" A couple of hours later, after talking with the crews of Caramba and Shawnigann we headed back to the room feeling right back at home and fortunate to find other kid boats on the first day of our new adventure.
