Sat Aug 24 2019 22:27:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) I’m on watch and we are in the fog again. Shouldn’t surprise anyone considering how close to land we are. Fog makes the ocean feel narrow and closed. It’s thick enough that I can’t see very far even in the dark. The bioluminescence is particularly bright …
We spent the last day with our first crew member checking out the Coastal Redwoods yesterday. We rented a car and drove from Ft. Bragg, along the Avenue of Giants, and through Humboldt Redwoods State Park to Eureka. The amazingly tall trees did not disappoint. Then after some tasty beer and dinner at Lost Coast …

During Graham’s watch we rounded Cape Mendocino. He said it was smooth and easy. Even the wave action cooperated and …
We are in Noyo Basin Marina, Ft. Bragg for a few days while we await the next window for our day hope to San Francisco. Our first time taking the boat up a river. Went very well for all there was a crane taking up half the entrance.

Bye Crescent City. It was lovely thinking about you. But fair winds call us South to round Cape Mendocino and arrive to Noyo Basin/Ft. Bragg tomorrow. Another leg closer to San Francisco.
Tue Aug 13 2019 20:33:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Fantastic sunset tonight.
