Warm Rain arrived safely in Ensenada last weekend - yippee! We took her off of the Dockwise ship on Monday and spent the day prepping her to go to sea again. After a long debate about spending another season in Mexico or going home to the Pacific Northwest we have decided to head home. It will take a few months with the weather systems dictating our progress. We left Ensenada at o'dark hundred Tuesday morning and were tied up at the Customs dock in San Diego by late afternoon. The ride north was uneventful but VERY cold. There is snow on the hills here, that is just not right. Customs check-in was a breeze and we've spent the past week visiting family & friends in the area. Our inverter/charger died and we're waiting for a new one to arrive, so we'll stay in the area awhile longer. It's great to have Warm Rain back in the U.S.!

Great blog!
It looks like SoCal should be fairly warm over the next few days (after the rain blows through). Today was pretty windy.
Anyways, we just started following your travels on http://www.yachtblogs.com.
Keep us posted on your progress north!

Tom and Dawn,
It is unreal that you can get from NZ to US in 12-days. Glad to hear that you are happy to be back. We would give a lot, but not 22k, to have Radiance in San Diego now. We took the trip from Umpqua River south in Nov and Dec. You have something to look forward to in the off-season. There are some nice small harbors along the way. Have a good trip North. We hope to se you soon.
Steen, Angela and Malou
