Lazy day
Sunday 9/22
Puttered on the boat most of the day. Took the dangerous path to the town again. This time it was early afternoon and wasn’t so scary. Checked out the few stores they had. Population of 204. Not even a small convenient store. A run down PO/new one too. A bed and breakfast, The famous American Shakespeare store which housed thousands of memorabilia; costumes, books, cards, props from plays and more. A funny place for it. The gentleman who ran the place said they get thousands of visitors a year. Two Mexican restaurants and a store selling Mexican wares for 10 times the amount we pay in Melaque. Stopped at the yacht club for a drink. Met a variety of nice people.
The yacht club is filled with derelict boats. One gentleman told us that it was a social club with a sailing problem. We had a good time non the less. There is a beautiful estuary where many kayakers
were exploring. Dinner on the boat and our nightly game of scrabble.
Monday 9/23
Departed Moss Bay at 10:15. As many days, it was foggy for awhile. Put the Genoa out half way to stabilize the boat from the rolling seas. Saw many sun fish today. Kevin told me that they can weigh 100’s of pounds. Pretty cool how they glide along the top of the water. Made it to Monterey Bay by 3:30. Got settled in and decided to have lunch at the harbor. A quaint little place called LouLous. Guy Fieri featured it on Drive In and Dives. Great food, but too big of portions.
Walked along the waterfront for a mile and a half to Cannery Row. This is where they use to can sardines. Started in the early 1900’s with mostly a large portion of Italians. A great spot with lots of activity, restaurants and shops selling just about everything.
Met a nice couple mooring next to us. Jennifer and Campbell. They are from Australia and have been sailing around the world for 10 years. It’s amazing how interesting all the people we’ve met are.
