Proper Cruisers????

Second night in Pillar Point. Don’t feel like much of a real cruiser, staying at marinas like this. BUT we are still working out our systems, the dinghy must be inflated if we anchor out and want/need to go in, and we will be rowing.
Marcus is smart to realize that we need to be rested up for these passages. To those who have done them for a long time, it may seem small day trips. To us, it is an adjustment to say the least.

I for one have lowered my “standards” of what I thought we would be doing. The key is we are doing it. We are doing it in the manner that is safe for us, that works for us. If I have learned anything in the last few days, it is that every trip/passage is different. Different winds, different sea conditions, different temperatures, different temperaments, different physical abilities. Just different.
