Made it to San Luis Obispo last night! I think the strongest wind I saw on this trip was 6 knots true. Mostly it was around 3kts, so we had a nice long, lazy motor from Santa Barbara. Saw a couple of humpbacks in the distance, but too far for decent photos. Encountered a few dolphins too. Pulled into SLO around 9pm, and my anchor cam proved invaluable for picking up the mooring ball. With a live stream on my iPad at the helm, Lauren can just focus on grabbing onto the mooring line without having to holler instructions back to me. 🍰

Began the voyage back to the bay today. First stop: Santa Barbara. Probably stay here for a few days before venturing on to San Luis Obispo.

Just a short trip chasing the sunshine and running from the fog.

Just adding in some old Garmin tracks to fill out some history in my SeaPeople log book. This was our first big trip with just Lauren and I. Oh and Chevy, of course. And between all the beautiful stops along the California coastline, the amazing sunsets and all the dolphins, it was an unforgettable trip.

This was our delivery trip from Seattle, where we purchased Catalyst, down to San Francisco, where we live.
