Got up early and moved the boat to Silver Gate in a dead calm. Oh boy! Back to Silver Gate's luxurious restrooms and showers! After we leave here, we're not likely to enjoy such top-notch facilities until we reach Florida.
Took our passports and ship's papers down to the Mexican Consulate to get our tourist cards and have the ship's papers processed. To my surprise, I was told it was no longer necessary to have the papers stamped in the U.S.---just take them to the Port Captain at our first port of entry. This makes me uneasy, because I've been given misinformation at the consulate before. I can just see us arriving in Ensenada and being sent all the way back to San Diego to get our papers stamped.
I asked about a Mexican ham radio license and was given the name and phone number of a man in Tiajuana. (Last year, they told me I didn't need a Mexican license.) I phoned Downwind Marine, and they said the license is still required.
Roy spent most of the day working on the chain washer. Just about has it finished.
A lot cooler today, but still nice.
