Got Crabs?

Half Moon Bay, California, USA

We are now officially on the Central California Coast.  As our cruising guide describes it:
"In many ways, the Central Coast of California between Point Conception and the Golden Gate is the most feared of all California coastal waters."
Great confidence builder!

The weekend has brought the predicted stormy weather.  Lots of rain and wind and surprisingly cold temperatures.  Sometimes it seems like we have not left Nanaimo at all.  But, every so often, the sun shines through and it gives us some hope of better things to come.  Still looks like there should be a break in the weather tomorrow so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Can you tell what season it is here?

For the weekend, the crab fleet seems to have made a point of being in port, and the locals and tourists are flocking to the docks to pick up their next meals.  To tell the truth, it is kind of nice to be somewhere where there is a bit of action for a change - makes us feel as if we are not the only non-fishermen on this coast.  Now, if we could just meet some other cruisers, it would make it perfect.  Actually there are a few other "recreational" boats moored here - just not in the area we are in.  Maybe, if the rain ever lets up, we could walk around the docks a bit to see if there are any other transients about - most likely all locals though.
