Morro Bay to Bodega Bay Part 1

This post is for "Uncle Gary". 

He said "Weather is good, water is flat. Swell and breeze from the south. Get out there and go go go."

We're going!

Out of Morro Bay at 4 pm

The seas are beautiful and the weather warm -- what a great evening. 

... Time passes ...

It's 5 am, we're in light patchy fog, we're freezing cold and the sun is just coming up. 

Our position is just south of Año Nuevo Island whistle buoy. N of Santa Cruz, on track to reach Bodega Bay by 3 pm. We plan to refuel there. 

Jim has been up most of the night. He rotates between checking the gauges, looking at the radar, and peering at the navigation screen. 

I've had a few naps and a spell of nausea. I went up top (suitably life jacketed) to solve a knocking noise, knelt under the flying bridge for 3 minutes, and we went through some ugly swells that did me in. But I'm back in action now. 

Here's a shot of last evening's Sunset

I'll be back with updates later today.
