When the alarm went off at 0530 it was not the first alert of the morning.  My phone began ringing at 0500 and as I tripped over piles of bags to get to it I thought "WTF who calls this early in the morning"?
Well, it was one of our friends in Mazatlan asking if we would zip by San Diego Marine Exchange on our way to Mazatlan.  And by the way, they don't open until 730 in the morning. 
Sure we will.  Anything for another cruiser.  We have always subscribed to the "pay it forward" attitude and it has worked for us in the past.
So at 0700 we were in the parking lot of San Diego Marine Exchange waiting for them to open.  We made good use of the time by repacking the back of the truck.  You see, when we packed it yesterday it was raining and we didn't do that great of a job.  Passersby looked at us like we were homeless and that's kind of true!
