San Fran to San Simeon
















Love this place San Simeon. Pelicans diving into the water at warp speed, Seals chasing herring aroubnd in big schools, Sea Otters lying on their backs and waving their flippers at me, Pelicans, Dolphins and more Pelicans. Hearst castle up on the hill and a great little store with good food for lunch. There is a hike on the beach where you walk along the cliff bewtyween rows or wind break trees that must have been planted years ago by easly settlers to the area.
Was great to see Justin in San Fran, Thanks for the use of the car Justin.


Had my birthday yesterday and celebrated with brownies, 1 candle and lots of phone calls. Thanks.


Left Sausalito at 930 Tue morning and arrived in San Simeon at 1430 on Wednesday. 180 miles in less than 30 hours, not bad at all. We expect to leave from here to either Morro Bay or Port San Luis on Sunday weather allowing. We will provision there for a trip f 2 weeks or so to the Channel islands. Have met boats going both north and south here and expect that only to increase as we go farther south.


Crew and skipper are doing well and look forward to warmer weather. The last night out was in the fog and was the coldest so far. When we sailed under the GGB going out we could barely see the bottom of the car surface from directly below and that fog lasted to below Half Moon Bay.


Hello to all

Fair Winds
