Left San Francisco 5 days ago, motored with some sailing to Halfmoon bay, perfect anchorage in 15ft of water, lots of room. We took out the bikes for a great cycle down their seawall trail to the main town where the bigger grocery stores are. six mile round trip.
We cut our visit short after 2 days, as a big system was coming through on Tuesday, and did not want to be stuck here until then. So did the 45 miles down to Santa Cruz and spent the night there in a open anchorage, but it was a quite night except for the hundreds of sea lions barking all night. Then today motored and sailed some to stay at the marina at Monterey for the next 4 or 5 days. Sounds like a gale coming through for a day or two. But the radio is saying there could be flooding and trees down in the area.

36ft Brent Swain steel sloop
About Me
- Tagish
- Tagish is a 36' Brent Swain design steel sloop with Canadian's, Brian and Dorothy on board. Built using the origami method of folded steel. It has 'keel cooling' using the skeg which holds 10 gallons of cooland/antifreeze like a car and using pump in engine is circulated for cooling. It also uses a dry exhaust for better reliability. So no water brought into boat for engine, no impellors or heat exchangers or sea water strainers to mess up. The anchor windlass is manual only, with 200' of 5/16 hi test chain and 100ft of 3/4 nylon on the drum which is mounted on deck. Tagish is named after a lake in the Yukon, Northern Canada where we had a cabin as children. See 2 short video clips of boat sailing-goto older posts in blog at March 4/2011.
