Expedition Schedule
Location: Irvine, California
 September 16, 2019
by Wayne and Karen Brown |
We are organizing and testing all our equipment, buying last-minute items, and trying to pack a house-full of equipment (cameras, computer, and scuba diving equipment) and clothing into bags and cases for our drive tomorrow to San Diego to catch the shuttle van to Ensenada, Mexico and board our diving yacht to start of our expedition.
We have finalized our expedition schedule. Even after all our planning and preparation our expedition schedule can change because of boat, or van troubles, changes in weather, or other things that can happen that we didn't plan on.
A good example of "things we didn't plan on" was engine problems on our expedition yacht!
We were supposed to leave for our expedition the end of August. One week before we were supposed to leave we got an email that our yacht had engine problems and would not be repaired in time for our expedition departure! Fortunately we were able to reschedule our departure until the middle of September!
Here is our current expedition schedule:
September 17 - Drive to San Diego to catch a shuttle van to Ensenada, Mexico to board our expedtion yacht.
September 17-18 - Our yacht leaves from the marina in Ensenada for a 18-20 hour voyage to Guadalupe Island.
September 18-20 - Anchored at Guadalupe Island for cage diving with Great White Sharks.
September 20-21 - Our yacht leaves Guadalupe Island for a 18-20 hour voyage back to Ensenada, Mexico.
September 21 - Take a shuttle van from the marina in Ensenada, Mexico to San Diego. We drive from San Diego back home.
We are excited and a little nervous about leaving for our expedition. On an expedition ever goes completely as we have planned, so we hope that only surprises we have are good ones.
Get ready for the start of
The Mexico Great White Shark Expedition!
