Our time is up, here at the Harbor Police dock, so we will be heading for Ensenada on the 19th to get our visas, temporary import permit etc. It is supposed to rain all next week. Oh well, It's not like we aren't used to rain, right?
We picked up our fishing licences yesterday in San Diego. Now we will be able to fish once we cross the border into Mexico. It's hard to believe that the fishing licences for foreigners are cheaper than resident fishing licences in Oregon. Also the regulations are so uncomplicated. They are short and to the point, only one page long! You don't even have to consult an attorney prior to dipping a line. It is also my understanding that they don't even change them daily, they stay the same ALL YEAR. Not like in Oregon, where you have to check on line for regulation changes every morning before you go out. How refreshing. Back to basics, what a novel concept. I think I'm going to like this, so called, backwards country.

Brad, the watermaker man, did an excellent job on our machine. It is my understanding that the particle content is supposed to be under four hundred to be acceptable. The water here at the Police dock is around four fifty. The water from the bay, after going through our desalinator is one hundred and ninety three. Needless to say, this makes us quite pleased with its performance, and Brads I might add. If anyone needs a reliable repair person, ( he also does wiring, etc.). You can contact him at;

Our SSB Tuner was destroyed by the person who rewired our boat and we were unable to get it repaired. We decided to get a SSB receiver to enable us to receive the weather reports, but there are none available in the San Diego area. I don't know what we are guing to do about that. The teck. who worked on our SSB was supposed to get back in touch with us yesterday, but of course he did'nt keep his word. Most people don't seem to care about their word anymore. What ever happened to personal integrety?
