Ensenada

March 1, 2013

Our visit to Ensenada was brief. When we arrived in the harbor it seemed like a ghost town, and we had no idea where to dock the boat so we could clear in. The Harbor Master, Rojelio, at Baja Naval helped us out. We cleared in, had lunch on the boat, then headed out. There is no anchoring allowed there, and we were pretty done with Marina life for awhile.

We departed San Diego at night at 23:00 but the harbor lighting made it easy to navigate.  We arrived at Ensenada the next morning at 11:30, just over a 12 hour passage.

Passage Log Highlights

  • 0120 Leave US, Enter MX
  • 0606 Listened to Amigo net (SSB)
  • 1130 Arrive Ensenada
  • 1600 Depart Ensenada

Edit: Not sure how I possibly “listened” to the Amigo Net, because it took us a good while to hunt down all of the SSB radio noise sources on the boat to actually be able to listen to any of the cruising nets.

Cheers to a safe arrival! (I asked Brenden to take the picture, and my only instruction was don’t make the flag come out of my head.)

The dock at Baja Naval was pretty rustic, but it was a nice place to stop for a couple hours.
