After a long weekend in Monterey we started our (roughly) 26-hour boat ride down to San Luis. I had never been sailing before this trip, much less doing 26ish hours at a time! We were split into two watches, 2 people per watch, in 3 hour shifts. Linda and I were on the second watch while Tom and Eric were the first. While on watch (especially overnight) I was awestruck with the views. Incredible sunsets and sunrises.

We pulled into SLO around 8am and after I slept until 1pm. There are tons of Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Otters, and avian species, which is awesome to me because there are only seagulls in Virginia (where I’m from). Since we’ve arrived I rested and relaxed on the boat, recovering my energy from such a long night. Tomorrow I’ll be catching the water taxi into town to see what San Luis has to offer.
