"MAY ON THE BAY ~ Life's a sailboat. Forget the beach.

Having spent a pleasant night in Monterey, we're out and about early. The wind and sea state is perfect and we glide up the coast on a close reach. We're sailing from Monterey to Moss Landing and a check of windy.com shows a good wind angle for flying the tweener code zero the tweener is surprisingly good to windward and will happily carry on a close reach. Again we've sailed all the way, and not motored at all, apart from leaving and entering port. Fog and clouds move inshore and offshore again.We make good time, here we are approaching Moss Landing. I've phoned the harbormaster to let him know we're arriving. Those are the cooling towers that were used with the de-commissioned natural gas power station. The power station's been replaced by a giant tesla powerwall battery installation. Moss Landing has been invaded by huge lumbering beasts. Their hulking masses strewn about in the water, strewn about on the docks. we take a slalom course among the flippers and fins and make it to our guest berth. The sea lions are barking at Jonah and I, and I wonder if I'll get a nights sleep here. The next day - Moss Landing to Santa Cruz ----- Sleep was adequate if a little fitful. We make an early start in thick fog and no wind. No matter, we aim to make port in Santa Cruz early in order to prepare for the next day. That noise was the AIS alarm going off. Apparently another boat is on a collision course. Hard to see in this fog! Followed by another day of halibut hunting!
