Still here

Half Moon Bay, California, USA

Yep, we are still here!

Waking up to a foggy, rainy morning, with the seas still not calmed down, we decided to stay a while longer.  Our biggest concern is that it is difficult enough to see the crab pots when the seas are flat and the visibility is good, let alone if it is foggy or rainy.  The only trouble calls we heard on the VHF on the way here were for boats that were hung up on crab traps, calling for help.  Seems to us like a pretty good reason to stay put.

A couple of hours after we made the decision to stay, the fog dissipated, the skies cleared up and winds died down, and we had a beautiful day here at Pillar Point.  Probably should have left.  Tomorrow promises to be much worse, with a strong cold front arriving sometime tonight, bringing steep seas and strong winds.  But it also promises to be short-lived, so with any luck, Wednesday could be looking good.

Thursday is American Thanksgiving (a huge holiday here in the US).  We are not sure what that means as far as boats and marinas, etc. are concerned.  We will soon be getting far enough south that "recreational" boating might still be going on, probably more so on holidays or weekends, so we expect it to get busier.
