Our stay in SanFrancisco was every thing we had hoped and more.
The hospitality and warm reception from the SanFrancisco Yacht Club made MARTHA and her crew feel right at home.
Many thanks to Commodore Bill Melbostad and Staff Commodore John Swain for making MARTHA’s visit truly a historic event. MARTHA and crew are looking forward to our return in May 2015.
We were able to visit Alameda and MARTHA was dockside in the Alameda Marina thanks to Brock deLappe, Harbor Master, and Friends John Phillips and Ray Ronquillo from Svendsen’s Boat Works.
The Sailing in the Bay has been fantastic and we had great time racing in the Leukemia Cup. MARTHA took 1st place in the Classic Division.
MARTHA and her crew are now moored up in Morro Bay, California after a great sail down the coast with a two day stop over in Monterey Bay.
The weather was delightful but we were keeping a weather eye on the big mean front that was causing some high wind and much appreciated rain up north around Mendocino.
Our leg into Morro Bay saw winds climb into the low to mid 20s and our entrance into the bay saw a solid 25 with gust to 30 knots.
Docking was made easy by a group of MARTHA’s Morro Bay friends put together by Craig and Vicky Johnsen and Pete Langley’s local friends and family.
Many thanks to the Morro Bay Community and the Harbor Authority for such a great stay. We’ve enjoyed having all the visitors dockside and invite all to visit.
WE are now planning our next leg to the Channel Islands and plan to shove off on Monday morning .
Stay tuned.
