San Diego Baja Ha ha Start


And the day came when we started - Crescendo proudly took her position in the parade and looked beautiful gliding over the start line.

San Diego put up quite a show with the fire boats hosing off water to wish us a good trip. I have to admit that I had mixed feeling, wondering if I would be happy or not cruising for days - yet looking forward to a sail on that day. And a spinnaker hoist later in the day.


All sorts of boats at the start

Look at all the AIS targets as we exit the harbor. This was the video game we could play all day long when the autopilot was on
