Morro Bay

25 September 2007
We made it! The hope was that we would have a nice breeze behind us so that we could make it to San Simeon before dark and anchor there. With that in mind, we got up early and left Monterey at 0530 Monday morning. It looked good for awhile, but then the wind died and didn't pick up again until Nepenthe. By then it was too late for San Simeon, so we kept going all night and arrived in Morro Bay this morning. It's beautiful here and warm!

We're docked at the Morro Bay Yacht Club. (The photo was taken from our bow.) They didn't even mind that we don't belong to a yacht club. We plan to spend two nights and then head for the Channel Islands. But, as you know by now, it's difficult to plan much on a boat.
