The Answer is Blowin in the Wind

Thursday we head out of Monterey after 28 days of fun/frustrating times. Leaving many new friends and a lovely community, we were heading out to beat the storms.

I was sick, no fun.

We made it 1/2 way to San Simeon before the engine died. As I lay there, recuperating after feeding the fishes, I was hoping against hope Marcus had hoisted the sails and was cutting the engine. No such luck.

It was late, no wind, and out of range to call for assistance, so we just bobbed, all night. It is really noisy when the swells are tossing the boat around constantly. It was a tough night, very little sleep.

In the morning, we decided the the wind would decide whether we would go south or north.

Winds from the south, so here we are back in Monterey. It is hard, but because of our faith, we believe we are right where we belong. We don't know why, but here we are.

We are weighing our options this weekend, but it honestly doesn't look like Mexico is in our future THIS season. But our spirits are good and we will let you know which way the wind blows us next!!
