Nice job Mike,

Everything you mentions brings back memories of SD and So Calif. (would you
believe, I use to anchor where Harbor Island is now.)

While I was living aboard in the early '90s, I was lucky that I could get a
mooring at the navy marina. The battles were just heating up about 'free
anchoring' and now there is even fewer mooring or anchoring options for the
'free spirits'.

I can still get a mooring for my boat at the navy facility at Fidders Cove
but I can't live aboard.. Oh Well! I guess I should go cruising. People and
the Port Authorities look a little differently on you if your a cruiser or
transit and don't stay around too long.
