Yup, this is it. We’ll be moving along tomorrow before noon and plan to be in Yuma shortly after that. It’s only a 3-hour drive, so I’m told. We’ll see about that.

Today was pretty laid back. Diane wanted to get some more things from the commissary, and she wanted a full tank of gas in the car. So, that’s where we went and then we took Max to a Dog Beach near the back gate to NAS North Island.

He was pretty excited about that, but he has a difficult time socializing with other dogs when he’s on his leash. That makes it a little difficult for me to trust him off leash, especially after our initial visit to the dog park in Imperial Beach. Remember that one? The one where I inserted myself into a dogfight between Max and a dog much bigger than him. So, we’re a little wary about getting into a situation like that.

So, I kept him on the leash and let him run into the surf until it wasn’t fun anymore. He has just as much fun smelling everything another dog may have touched in any manner.

Max was OK with that short visit and the walk back to the car for the trip home.

The rest of this day was spent doing pretty much nothing except for Diane washing a load of sheets. We sat on our patio until it was time to get them out of the dryer.

The highlight of our sitting time was watching what I think was an AOR (an oiler for replenishment at sea) enter port then search along the piers, looking for a parking spot. It was flanked by two tugs to help them squeeze in to any spot they found where they might fit.

That’s about it for today.

See you in Yuma.
