Visit San Diego: War Ships, War Cries and Wannabes

Join us in San Diego, from the Police Dock to Marina, and where I set up an office in the laundry. We put our guests to work on the Aries Wind Vane and anchor chain. And we made time to explore.

Show Notes

With a charming mix of mega yachts and masquerading pirates onboard 7-metre sailing ghettos, San Diego is like a melting pot of poverty and prosperity. On the edge of America, with Mexico insight, here lies the stepping-off point for cruisers. San Diego is not a cruising ground as such with its king’s ransom fees and stifling regulations. It is a gateway to the Pacific Ocean. Late in the season, most cruisers are already in Mexico and beyond by now. But a few cruisers lurk, mainly small sailboats with no fixed agenda. Vessels that ‘live’ here are all pristine.
