Reinforcing the compression post

One thing you can never compromise on a sail boat is safety. We aren’t comfortable with how small/thin our compression post is, so we are putting in reinforcement! Here is the before picture. Project starts today.

Later in the day the reinforcement was in! Ellamae was excited for her new ballet dance prop.

…and we measured (note black markings) all 3 kid’s heights! It will be fun to see the difference after we’ve sailed around the world.

And our final step (day two) extra strength and beautification. And yay, completed in just 2 days! Great job Christian.

Sail from San Francisco to Morro Bay

We left Sausalito Tuesday, June 17th, after dinner to start our trip from Horseshoe Cove. A beautiful setting, under the North end of the Golden Gate Bridge. A perfect way to start our trip. We had a leisurely breakfast on Wednesday then set sail out “the gate”. After a day and a half of mostly all down wind sailing we arrived in Morro Bay, dropped the anchor, and enjoyed a nice dinner. Because it is bad luck to leave port on a Friday, we stayed in Morro Bay another day. We spent Friday showering, doing laundry, getting a few more fresh fruits and veggies, and spending time with our good friend DJ.
