Starting the move north

No photos with this one...we'll post them after we get back to San Diego.

Marv and his crew of two, Steve Terzian and Joe Ellerston (Bend and Portland, respectively), leave this afternoon on the first leg of their trip aboard Odyssey enroute to San Diego.

They hope to anchor tonight in Bahia Los Lobos, just 10 miles or so out of La Paz and make Cabo San Lucas by Monday morning.

Along with a number of other boats, sail and motor, they will be beating into a north-north-west wind along the Pacific coast of the Baja. Depending on the weather, they should make San Diego in 8 to 10 days.

Ardy will be driving the car, accompanied by Reginald. Tonight she will bunk with Merry and Dave Wallace in Puerto Escondido and she should be in San Diego by the 1st at the latest.

Saying goodbye to the crew here at Marina de La Paz has been bittersweet...they are phenomenal and have made our stay very pleasant. We look forward to getting re-acquainted next spring when we may come down for a visit aboard Talion. Odyssey will stay in San Diego, resting up for the trip north to Portland and (it is hoped) points further north...Canada...Alaska...

The end of one leg of our odyssey...
