San Diego - Parties, People: Good Times

Well here it is .... 8:30PM Sunday night, October 26th and all is quiet. It has been a week of gatherings and provisioning here in San Diego. Eager Dreamer is fueled and watered... with ample stores aboard. This is just a quick update to let you know we will start the trek south to Cabo tomorrow at 11:00AM (official start of the 2008 Baja HaHa). Lots of great people here! The marina hosted a party for the fleet (homemade tortillias). A live-aboard across from us has a cool African Grey parrot (his name is Arne).....

We had a great dinner and visit with Cory and Marci (Marci is the daughter of good friends Margie and Gary Thorne) from Lewiston, Idaho.

And then there was the West Marine gala and costume party..... Jake (my brother Rick) and Elwood Blues showed up with "The Penguin" (Rosie). Great Time!!! There are 180+ boats registered for this one.... weather looks good for the start!!

Even the crew of the ss Mino showed up for the bash (friends on Andanzus (Wally, Linda, David and Alli)

And then Popeye, the bee's (Suebee, Scott Sue) and the Great White stopped by as well.... great food and fun for all....

Well... that's the update... all is well here. We look forward to being back out on the water. We have a 360 mile run to Turtle Bay, the next stop (with beach party and BarBQ). We should be in Cabo by November 8th.... hope to be able to update the blog again then.... Our best to all of you following Eager Dreamer.....
