Santa Cruz

Here we are in Santa Cruz. COLD COLD COLD!!! But the good news is my sister Cheryl lives here and we have wheels!! So got some laundry done, and a couple of things we "needed". THANKS CHERYL, also thanks for the happy hour tacos, haha!!

Came in around 6pm last night and was a little scary. You head for the beach and make a left just before the sand, oh and there are breakers at the entrance so wait for a lull between sets. On our first approach there appeared to be a boat in the channel. So went around again, and established that it was a dredger, but just stay to the right, and in the center of the channel.

Would prefer not to do that again. Oh, well, here and safe.

Weather permitting will head to Monterey tomorrow.

Did I mention it was cold? Now tell me again, why we didn't fly down to Mexico and buy a boat there?

  2. Hey Guys-
    Cold or not, I'm jealous of your adventure. Pick your timing to cross to Monterey. Some pretty steep seas can develop in the bay..been there, done that. Do you guys have the "The Cruising Guide to Central and Southern California"? It is excellent. If you don't, I can email you the key pages for your travels. As they say, "Don't leave home without it".
    Stay warm and dry.
    Hal and Karen

    Kevin, you are not doing your part to keep things warm!
