Greetings from San Francisco.

After leaving San Diego, we stopped at several harbors along the way including Oceanside, Newport Beach, Los Angeles, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Port San Luis, San Simeon, and Santa Cruz. We visited with family and friends at some of the ports. Most of the traveling was motoring into the wind and waves and FOG. It has been very cold which has been a shock for us after living in tropical weather for almost three years.

We will leave San Fran in a few days when the weather improves. It is less than 700 miles to Cape Flattery, WA. Yahooooo!

Is 8 the number of seals allowed per bouy?

This cute little guy was flying all over the boat,

inside and out. (no, Ken was not the one flying)

There were several of them joining us.
