From the Mate
Got underway from Half Moon Bay around 0400. Raised anchor and half of the mucky bottom. So much ooze on the anchor it covered the balance ring. Another good work out for the crew. Had the anchor up and sails set in 45 minutes.
We set a course for the short trip to San Francisco. We had NW winds at 10 Kts, seas were around three feet and the Temp was 55ºF. Uneventful trip that had us along side Pier 40 in San Francisco at 1154.
The conditions for this last section of the voyage were as follows:
DOMINENT SWELL – NW @ 2 - 4 FT
WINDS – 10 and variable
TEMP - 55ºF
DISTANCE TRAVELED – 36 NM

San Francisco at last! Moored next to a working dock complete with jackhammers and other peace destroying equipment. Not a problem for me and my scopolamine. I plugged in some tunes and snoozed. Now waiting for teenage kayakers to vacate the showers so I can wash up.
Meanwhile we nudged the ship closer to shore. Cleaned the anchor. Chari and Ray went in search of ice. Watch is set.
