The voyage is almost complete, and it's hard to FATHOM that after cruising
20,000 miles the boat is finally getting off-loaded in Ensenada!
Once Brad & his dear friend Sid departed the marina, he snapped
some neat pix of the shore & its environs.
And the border of California & Mexico was no big event to write home about.
And later that evening... INCOGNITO arrived
from Ensenada, Mexico to Newport Beach, CA.
HALLELUJAH!! HOME sweet home!
The boys cruised in and awoke the neighborhood at 3:30am, as Brad's car alarm that was sitting in the parking lot went off to alert the neighborhood... INCOGNITO is home... And that's how it's DONE!
This little map outlines our entire crazy adventure.
We LOVED every second of it!!!!!
We couldn't be more excited to have completed this massive journey on the sea without incident, accidents or anyone getting maimed. (OK- minus Buddy & the fish hook he met briefly.)
Our best advice?
For fun I thought I'd include some of the "411" and details you might enjoy...
20,000 miles of cruising. Eeesh..I'm worn out at the thought of this. HA!
INCOGNITO went thru the canal for the 3rd time!
(The first time was in 2005 when Brad brought it home from New York City,
and the second time was with our whole fam during Christmas 2014)
Gas prices were cheap the ENTIRE trip. Boy, we sure picked the right time to travel during the oil glut. The weather wasn't hot or too humid, which made for FABULOUS cruising!
Outside the US was definitely a humbling experience. To see how some people live without hardly a roof over their head, but a BIG smile and pride in their eyes.
