Half Moon Bay

Finally, I "got out of Dodge".  Not without a lot of help from my friends though.  Nervous? Not too bad cause this was an annual trip for Gate 11 and the Passport Owners Association (POA). I arrived and rafted up with several other Passports.  It was a weekend of Partying that was for sure. There was the goodbye party (sniff)  from my POA friends.  With Cake and all.  Everyone had blue teeth. Then the Gate 11 Beach party !  And the Yacht Club BBQ with live music and dancing.

Then of course                                                    

there was the requisite "Dinghy

Incident". Fatalities included the phone, the camera and my  good glasses. Those were the 3 things I was most worried about. Well the universe reminded me once again that it is just material stuff and it aint the end of the world. So I got that 

over with in "one swell foop".

  After everyone left I rested for a day and prepared for my next hop to San Simeon.  Nervous? You betcha!  Off I went.  Got to San Simeon around 11am

anchored and slept.  What a beautiful place.  No pictures, no camera, no phone too bad.

  Left the next day 7am for Channel Islands Harbor.  Arrived after 28hours in the fog to one of the prettiest harbors I have ever seen.  

  Joyce rode her bike to the Jasdip to welcome me and we shared some VERY cold champagne.
