San Diego February 2009




After we came back to San Diego from Ensenada, we spent a great deal of time in the San Diego area. (nearly 2 months) We had a wonderful time and made many new friends. We stayed for a couple days at the Marriott Marina and at the adjacent Roy's Restaurant and Bar we met some wonderful women, Mary Jo, Carly, Lisa and Katie!!! We had a great time with them, visited Mary Jo's wine bar a couple of times, and were assisted with travel all over San Diego. We wanted to take them out on the boat, but we never got our schedules lined up. So, if you are ever in San Diego and want great wine and food, stop in at her wine bar, Enoteca Style!

We anchored out quite a bit, in A-9 "Cruisers" area near the airport and Sea Port Village. It was a simple dinghy ride to get to Little Italy, Gas Lamp and downtown. When we anchored in A-5, Glorietta Bay, we would take the dinghy to the Coronado Yacht Club and then tour all over Coronado Island. We even squeezed in a tour of the historic Hotel Del Coronado. We knew the weather was going to turn nasty, so we found a slip at the Harbor Island West Marina. Sure enough the rain and wind kicked up and hit 25-30 knots with gusts to 35 and 40. We felt safe and warm in our slip at Harbor Island.
