This morning well left the fog shrouded San Francisco bay. We crossed under the bridge and across the traffic lanes and head west and then south. We sailed a beam reach in winds 5-13 knots under the marine layer as we ghosted along the coast. Our only company was a few fishing boats. We are hearing a few new noises on the boat. Rich an I spent some time trying to find the origin, We think that some of the noise if from the hydraulic pumps when the autopilot is steering to the wind. The other noise was a creaking sound and I still have not figured out where it comes from.
We are anchored in Half Moon Bay, about 30 miles south of San Francisco. Gia, a boat we met in Clipper Cove and again in Sausalito is here as well. It is quiet now with only a fog horn at the harbor entrance.
Tomorrow morning we will get up early and continue south to Monterey Bay.
It is good to be back on the water again.
