Episode 22: Noeta Goes to Mexico!

[@Genxtrucker72]

Figured u would of stopped in Dana Point on the way lol. At least you're way south of the bomb cyclone

[@mvnoeta]

We definitely wanted to make a stop at the Mother Ship, but the seas were just so nice, we opted to take advantage of that!

Question: Why did you fill up in Long Beach instead of Ensenada? Isn't the diesel a little cheaper in Mexico?

[@mvnoeta]

Great question- we checked all the prices for Ensenada, San Diego and Long Beach. The Long Beach price was the best one since we were getting so much. The other issue with Ensenada was that if it’s not fuel delivery day, then they might not have enough for us. Ensenada was $5.09 gallon, San Diego was $5.16 and LB was $4.50. And honestly, our slip was 100 yards from the fuel dock in LB 😅- so it was just easy.

What RPM are you cruising the John Deere at?

[@mvnoeta]

We’ve been cruising at 1250 mostly. That’s the sweet spot for efficiency. Puts us around 8.7 knots.

All the paperwork and yet millions cross our borders and no paperwork 😮

[@mvnoeta]

Happy to follow the paperwork process and that Mexico has a system for us. Even more grateful that we aren’t fleeing violence and poverty. We count ourselves very fortunate. 🙃

Wow, you cook fast. Interesting how you are anxious to get to Mexico (legally), and thousands are anxious to get into the US (illegally). Does Gilligan like Mexican cat food ? Well, as long as you are all having a good time, that is all that counts

[@mvnoeta]

Such fast cooking skills! 😂 I feel really privileged that there is a system in place for us to come into Mexico. And that we are not fleeing danger or poverty. (BTW - we’ve met lots of US and Canadian folks who haven’t done the paperwork and are in Mexico ‘illegally’). We are having a great time though and Gilligan will eat whatever we put in front of him 😂
