The Baja Bash

Preparing for the Baja Bash (the trip north from Mexico to California). They call it “The Bash” because the prevailing winds and waves are from the northwest. So you are basically going uphill (if that makes any sense).

Elkhorn Yacht Club

04 September 2014 | Moss Landing, CA
Pat - Overcast
We arrived in Moss Landing on Monday September 1 and took a spot at the Elkhorn Yacht Club guest dock. The trip from Pillar Point took nine hours. We were able to sail for two hours across Monterey Bay. We saw lots of whales. We also made 50 gallons of fresh water during the trip.

Georgie's Girl rafted up to us at the guest dock. The club was having a lasagna dinner for only $14. That included chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. Everyone at the club was very nice.

We took a dingy ride up the Eklhorn Slough to check out the wild life. There were many sea otters, harbor seals, and birds. Melodie would have liked to have been in a kayak so she could get closer to the animals.

We took the dinghy over to the public marine for dinner on Tuesday night and ate at Phil's seafood. We had the halibut and it was delicious.

We left Moss Landing at 10:00 on Wednesday for the short 15 mile trip over to Monterey. Everything is going well.
