Just a quick entry as I'm waiting in Starbucks for a teleconference... It was an easy trip down from Isla Coronado Sur here to Ensenada, but because Rogelio and his crew were likely playing futbol in the yard at their lunchtime break, nobody answered my hail at Baja Naval, so I ended up going into Cruiseport Village Marina, which was more expensive than the $35 at Baja Naval, and they also wanted $50 to fill out all my clearance paperwork for me (which Rogelio does for free for his Baja Naval clients). So... big mistake, and I ended up waiting for about three hours at the ventana unica (single-window check-in place, with the Port Captain, Immigration and Customs all in one building) because of my less-organized paperwork I tried to do myself.
I've decided against trying to get a Mexico Telcel account, as one month just isn't worth it. Instead, I've downloaded Skype for iPhone, so whenever I have wifi I'll be on Skype. So if you want to be in contact with me and you don't have Skype, get it. :-)
Leaving Ensenada in an hour or so, and my next communication will probably be from Cabo San Lucas where I know of an open wifi or two out in the anchorage. There's nothing much between here and there, as Turtle Bay is a technological backwater, and Bahia Santa Maria (a sub-bay off Bahia Magdelena) is just a rest stop without any services at all.

You're doing something right when your "work" tag is 1/6th the size of your "sailing" tag...but why aren't "scuba" and "booze" bigger? You need to work on those :-)
Well, I could conceivably fit the "booze" tag into any post that isn't also "solo sailing," so I'll take a closer look. :)
