Chilling in Monterey

Our weekend in Monterey stretched out to a long one. We’ve been watching the weather and now we’re projecting to leave tomorrow, Wednesday, September 11. We’ll make up a day by skipping Morro Bay and going directly to Port San Luis. We don’t have a firm deadline until San Diego 10/1, so we’re still taking our time.
While we were here, we polished the external stainless (no teak on a Valiant 42, we polish the stainless every year or two), went for a hike to Asilomar, saw the Monterey Bay Aquarium, provisioned, and did laundry. One of the highlights was a visit to the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum. It’s a small museum and we got personal attention because we were the only guests on a Monday morning.
