Our sail yesterday from San Francisco to Bodega Bay was beautiful. It was a crystal clear day with almost no wind. We had a little bit of rough sees around Point Reyes, but nothing too uncomfortable. I had to keep pinching myself to prove that we really were out to sea and on our way. We have had this dream for so long that I still can’t quite believe it is happening!

Today we had a great sail from Bodega Bay around Point Arena to Ft. Bragg. We are berthed tonight in a “working” marina surrounded by fishing boats. These are the kind of boats you see in old movies with names like Miss Smith, Daisy Lee and Shirley (our neighbor), but who look nothing like what their name might imply. These boats have a history of storms and hard, hard work. I have a new appreciation for the fish I eat! Tomorrow we head out to Eureka our last stop in California.
