I headed north to visit Carol,
Richard and Murphy outside
Eugene. They have a
Catalina 42 named S/V Vela.
I met them in La Paz and we became fast friends. At the time they
co-owned the boat but are in the
process of buying her
outright. They want to leave
her in La Paz or points south and
the partner wanted her to be in
San Diego. So Vela is in SD and
is slated to come down
the coast in October of this year!
I can hardly wait! We headed
into the Sea last year and buddy
boated for about 9 days and it
was one of the best times
I have had since leaving the
Bay area! Needless to say it was
a great visit. Great food, wineries,

day they go back and forth eating just like clockwork! Never noticed that before!
Guess it is sort of like watching grass dying...or getting eaten....sort of like sailing!
LOL! Anyway, like clockwork, around 5 pm they seem to arrive at her fence and
and try to get at the goodies she is growing on her side. They stretch an lean and
lean a little further and...oops the fence is down! So...needless to say she is tired
of that and has her cow mover (a big stick) and gives them a shove when they
come near. It is great fun to watch (sorry Carol)! Rumor has it that the
owner is going to move the cows to another field and POOF there goes the
entertainment. Carol, however, will probably be happy if that does indeed happen.
A great visit and I am looking forward to our next reunion this summer or this
fall.
Sounds like a wonderful time and place to be!
