Family and (most) friends have been visited. Jobs that needed a wood shop have been finished. Re-provisioning at Costco and Shop & Kart is done. Its back to Allymar and so long to Ashland. Hopefully everything will fit in the rental car for the trip back to Winchester Bay this afternoon. The biggest item to move is the inflatable dingy to replace the wood one that would not last a day going through the surf in Mexico.
We will leave Winchester Bay in a few days to go south. Plan is to stop near or in San Francisco Bay and than to the North Channel Islands and Santa Catalina Island before Mexico.
Many thanks to Dick and Diane for a wonderful place to stay here in Ashland. Many thanks to Cyd for storing our trailer and all its "landfall" stuff.
Being on solid land, having a kitchen rather than a galley, not having to pump the head and sleeping in a real bed has been a pleasant break, but I look forward to the turn on Allymar's hull as she goes south. Looking at the moon last night brings the possibility for a full moon trip down the coast, a magical time as your eyes adjust to the moonlight and the seeing is better than I ever expected.
May autumn bring all the best "Indian Summer" of your lives.
Fair Winds and Smooth Seas
