We arrived yesterday in Monterey and took a slip. Showers, laundry, Trader Joes, and things to see so we are staying a couple of days.
The 10hour trip south from Half Moon bay was mostly a motor boat ride until the last hour when the wind came up and we began saving fuel. Then we needed to reef the main!, then we needed to reef the jib, then the fog rolled in and we went to a few hundred yards visibility. Radar would be of minimal use because of the the shoreline behind the marina..... as I was considering our options, the fog lifted enough to see the shore and we went in with no real trouble.
But where is the SUN! High of 62 today overcast all day and more of the same tomorrow plus possible showers. I could have that in Seattle!. But as my son reminded us we are not sitting in an office working like some people.... we are sympathetic to you who have to work, but for you younger readers we did work for 40 yrs.

The picture is of an afternoon street vendor fair, and farmers market which although we thought was in our honor apparently happens every Tuesday afternoon.. We sampled the food, filled up and called it dinner.

We have run across 5 boats already that are in the Mexican rally we are joining called the Baja HA HA.
Camelot, Di's Dream, Double Dharma, Hotel California, Full shell.

Tomorrow we are planning to play tourist, and then weather permitting leave for Morro Bay on Thursday
