Baja Ha Ha, in a few days, to-do-list! - 2012

October 2012 - In Kona Kai Marina, San Diego, CA

 Our to-do list is getting hacked almost daily. There are now things we know we are just not going to get done. We have the parts but not the time. For instance we have the LED lights but not the time to convert the rest of the salon lights to LED.

There is only a few weeks left so it is crunch time. We are hoping to take the last week before we leave off from projects and relax before we start out trip south.

 We emptied the storage locker off all the items we cannot take and do not need. We took them all to the Chula Vista swap meet this weekend and buddied with mike and Holley which are heading south also. They have a Catalina 42. What we did not sell we offered for free. We then dropped off some at Goodwill and took the nautical stuff to the free spot at the dock. While at the swap meet we met up with several other cruisers heading south on the Baja Ha Ha, it turned out to be a fun time.

 We also saw Ann Marie and Ralph wo have a Catalina 34 and we had lunch afer the "meet" with them. They decide to purchase our dock steps.
 Mike of Mike and holly offered us some dive gear which we took them up on for cleaning the bottom.

Debbie's last day at work was last Friday and she is now retired.

 The atmosphere is getting a lot more social and a lot less project minded. Events and parties are amongst the projects now and some weight is being lifted from the project shoulders. One example is the Mermaid Marine Air 12000 BTU HVAC unit. We wanted to bench test it in place in time for it to be shipped back for repair incase something is wrong (see the 5200 install) but that is not going to happen.
