We started our Spectra WaterMaker today. First a purge of the system (a 30 minute process) since its been in its “preserved” state. We found a few leaks around the primary filter housing that needed to be fixed. And a few more at some connection sites. Then water making mode started!
Our good friend, Jason W, treated us to breakfast at LouLou’s
9 kids tromping around the boat in Monterey. 5 of them were Dr. Keller’s grandchildren (3 of which are Holly’s) and 1 is miss lil Naia. The girls are learning to make insta -friends.
After 2 weeks we traveled a whole 80 miles south of our hailing port. Total miles traveled being about 100 miles. We left Monterey on Thursday and sailed to Stillwater Cove, near Pebble Beach. We were able to use their yacht club mooring ball with our Nawiliwili reciprocal. We stayed for two nights. The Anchorage was very rolly, but beautiful.
Yesterday we sailed 70 miles more, from Stillwater Cove to San Simeon. It was an all day sail, from 5am to 7pm. We wanted to make sure we got in before dark since we have never anchored in San Simeon before. It’s gorgeous here. There is only a beach break shore landing, so we’ll probably hang on the boat for the day and maybe do a little free diving.
somewhere between Carmel and San Simeon.
So far, no one has fed the fish. This is the favorite spot to get fresh air.

We’re famous! Well almost, Latitude 38 did an article on us for this (September) month’s magazine! Go pick a hard copy up at any Chanderly store or any other place that carries Latitude 38. We are in the “sightings” section (page 70,71 on Lectroniclatitude)! Thanks to Andy for the great write up and use of pictures! Love that picture of Taj with his TTO sunglasses!
