Morro Bay

Completed 122nm passage from Monterey to Morro Bay. Motored the first half then found wind, turned the engines off and sailed with the code zero and reefed main for the remainder.

On this 32 hour overnight passage, we had no fog, calm seas and watched the moon set. We were greeted by many whales, visited by several birds, and a pod of dahl’s porpoises played in the bow wake.

We set a course to take us 25nm offshore so not to jibe in the middle of the night and set us up for a straight shot into Morro.

Proudly flew our Bremerton Yacht Club Burgee at the Morro Bay Yacht Club while we wait out the next gale… very friendly folks and a beautiful club!

Had fun exploring Morro Bay… great food, friendly people and unique shops. We made the hike down to Morro Rock and were back on the boat just before the gale started. The cats have not been bothered by the wind or waves.
