After 2 nights, we moved from the yacht club guest dock south about ½ mile to the marina of the Moss Landing Harbor District to make room for other guests. From the marina, we could easily walk to the fruit and veggie market (Whole Enchilada) and bought tasty tri tip and yummy bread at the deli next door. We also enjoyed our "commute" to the yacht club for happy hour on Friday night which allowed us to see more of the wildlife, including the sea lions that have taken over the public dock, on the way. Ironically, Friday night was also when the yacht club was rented for a wedding - it was a Mexican wedding complete with an accordion in the polka band! We travelled 5,000 miles back to CA to experience a Mexican wedding!

We extended our stay in the Monterey area because of the opportunity to sail on the Derek M. Baylis, a Tom Wylie designed 65 foot sailing yacht that is run by the non-profit Sealife Conservation (http://www.sealifeconservation.org/NewApproach.html) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
