Hi everyone! We left Cresent City on Sunday and traveled 12 hours down the coast to Eureka. The ocean was serene compared to the previous legs.

However, the ride wasn't without excitement. We saw numerous whales feeding, traveling, breaching and etc. At one point everywhere we looked we saw whale spouts.

We did have a minor incident with the boat, the motor stopped running due a clogged fuel filter. Ken bypassed the filter to temporarily solve the problem until we reached port.

The filter is changed an we are waiting on a weather window to go around the notorious Cape Mendecino and Cape Punta Gorda.

Old Eureka is pretty cool. Worth a stop if you're driving through. Our boat is moored in a spot the has a dramatic view westard. Last nights sunset was great.
