We have been in Monterey for a few days now playing tourist. There is an amazing amount of wildlife here. Sea lions everywhere, on jetties, nav. buoys, boats, you name it, they are there. The area is so rich in food they populate like rabbits, being protected & with few natural preditors. The sea otters swim thru the marina with their babies on their chest & the jelly fish seem to be blooming. An incredible place.
As can be expected on a trip like this, things break or just quit. Our chart plotter has been breathing it's last few breaths for the last couple of weeks & died on the way into Monterey. We ordered another (Garmin) & I am installing it today as Jane makes a trip to the commisary & Tucker guards things. He seems to be taking it quite seriously lately.
More soon, Smooth Sailing, Rod
