Another beautiful, warm, sunny day. Assembled our bikes and rode them to the main post office. Got the mail that Kathy had forwarded to me, but Roy didn't get any mail.
Returned to the boat and put our bikes on the deck. Then we walked back to Rosecrans and rode the bus to the train station. Got there around noon and relaxed, waiting for the 12:40 train. Then I noticed a sign saying there wouldn't be any train service between Los Angeles and San Diego until March 10th! Yikes! I hurried over to the Information booth and was told a large mudslide had covered the tracks during the last heavy rain, so train passengers were being bused to San Diego from the slide area and would arrive on schedule.
12:40 came and went. No Jeanette. Around one there were some totally unintelligible announcements on the public address system. I went over to the ticket window to find out what they'd said and was told they were just testing the system. Then I asked what time the 12:40 would arrive and was told 1:30.
Sure enough, at 1:30 there was Jeanette, looking really good. We took her down to Chula Vista on the trolley to eat lunch at our old favorite, the Soup Exchange. Delicious as ever.
By the time we got back to the boat, it was after five, and Jeanette had to catch the 9:05 bus-train. We took her for a little sail on the bay. It was a perfect night for sailing: light breeze and bright moon. Jeanette greatly enjoyed it.
Returned to the dock about 7:30. Walked back to Rosecrans (2 or 3 miles) to catch the 8:30 bus. Got to the Amtrak station 10 minutes before the 9:05 left.
All in all, a very pleasant day.
Roy is feeling much better. He gave his cold to me.
(Jeanette was upset that her train ride along the coast became a bus ride.)
