Today our next crew joined us: Cody McG and Laura Morgan (Lomo - always the snappy dresser, hat from goodwill). Oh Boy! What fun. This would not be near as much fun without dear friends to share it with. Thank you Joe Rupa and Anna for driving them from the SF airport this morning and joining us for breakfast out.
We left at noon in fog. The wind looked like it wasn't going to attend the day, but as forecast, we soon had a romping good broad reach across the 21 nautical miles of Monterey Bay. A good day
for the new crew to acclimate, and to enjoy the newness of their experiencing this. A night at the dock here to catch up on sleep and be ready for what looks to be a windy ride to Santa Barbara Channel.
We saw sea lions, birds, porpoise and sea otter today. Played euchre. Cody is rigging the rods for some fishing... Really am happy he and Lomo are here.
G'night,
jon

I am enjoying the postings immensely...an understatement. This adventure/journey come as no surprise to me, as Jon began preparations for such during our many sailing days around Clearwater Bay, FL, during our teenage years. And with his folks during their many family sailing vacations. Jon/Tyler, I read your postings with amazement. You 2 are blessed to be sharing this adventure. Our love, hope, and happiness flow to you both. Greg/Nancy Williamson; Alachua, FL

There is a possibility that a few of us may be heading to Baja this winter. do you know yet where you'll be? would love to catch up with you and Ty. I'll keep in touch. Smooth sailing! abbe
Hey Cody!
In my experience fishing rods don't belong on a sailboat, certainly not under way. Troll with a length of eighth inch nylon with wire leader, and wear gloves. With a fishing boat fishing is primary and the boat is secondary, but with a sailboat it's the boat that's primary and everything else is secondary. Much of the time you're exceeding ideal trolling speed anyway.
Whatever you use, good luck. Bud
