Challenges, We Got Challenges

Monterey:
Long overdue update: we were heading down the coast, all prepared for our first overnighter, about 15-20 miles down the coast, the wind just started to pick up, and we were getting ready to raise the sails when the engine died. YIKES!!! So we can sail on down the coast to unknown services, or get towed back to Monterey.
This is not good financially, time wise (weather gets rougher in January), or emotionally. But regardless, here we are. We have met some great people, made some new friends, and HOPEFULLY found the problem with the engine. Part will be delivered tomorrow.
Besides the new friends we have made, the silver lining to this dark cloud is that we get to go home for Christmas!!! Yahoo.
We are renting a car and heading home for a day. Everyone is happy about that.
So, if this part fixes the engine, the next weather window after Christmas, we will be heading out. Otherwise, we may be looking for work in Monterey.
