If anyone is reading this, please help. I’m stuck on a boat with a crazy person. That is all I have to report today. That, and we didn’t leave for Morro Bay until this morning. We ended up lounging around in San Simeone Bay for the remainder of the day yesterday. After a late start, we decided exercise might be beneficial to our mental states, so we threw on our running clothes, hopped into the kayak, and headed for shore. Due to our lack of finesse in the dismount, we ended up getting tossed over by a wave and soaked….which was um, a little unexpected and chilling to say the least. After wringing ourselves dry, we continued on our way…running a nice little 4 miler up Highway 1 –highlight – gigantic elephant seal in a heavy slumber on the beach. Saw some cute little sandpipers, as well as your usual tidepool dwellers – sea anenomes and hermit crabs. Andy led the run back, speeding the pace up quite a bit and leaving me in the dust – but, what’s new? Sigh. The kayak back was a little more successful, and I took my first saltwater bath of the trip when we returned. Also chilling, but better than being covered in sweat and sand.
Got into Morro Bay around 3 pm today after a nice 5 hour sail.
Desperately seeking a hot shower. Pretty happy about our current anchorage though. Morro Bay Harbor is extremely protected here so no rockin and rollin tonight, thank goodness. Really looking forward to not spilling my breakfast. Also really looking forward to not tossing my lunch across the boat and desperately searching for it. As for the Captain, he spills his coffee at least once a day regardless of the movement of the boat.

We may hang out here until Friday due to heavy winds in the local forecast. Hopefully we can get some more running in, because like I mentioned before, I’m stuck on a boat with a crazy person and he would probably the say the same if he were writing this. Please note that I did offer the blog entry for today to Andy, but he politely refused, so I will have to speak for the both of us. The sea lions are barking outside and Andy keeps saying they’ve followed him from Pier 39. I know he secretly loves them though…he just can’t get enough of those guys…
That's the news for tonight. Keep you posted in the next couple of days. Oh, one more thing - Happy birthday, Kristen :)
the run part sounds awesome though. and the elephant seal!
ReplyDeleteAnd you didn't know this about Andy prior to your departure? ha ha. Just kidding. Having sailed with Andy before, I couldn't think of a better capitan to be first mates with.
ReplyDeletewhat an adventurous day in itself! Glad to hear you took some time to stay grounded through all of this aquatic adventure ;) I am enjoying reading your updates.. Can't wait to see some pics of morro bay!
