We made a weekend out of it in Half Moon Bay, California. One more came the next day. The boat in the middle is a C42, they used to own a C36 and still come with us.
October 2014 we made it into Tomales Bay. A very difficult entrance and sail around Pt. Reyes.
While cruising this past August in Western Lake Erie, a few days of weather kept us a in port at Put-in-Bay, Ohio. We decided to make the best of it and opened the cockpit lounge.

My son and I spent a night at Goleta Point then crossed to Santa Cruz Island for another night at Fry's Harbor. Knowledgeable skippers anchor bow-in at this spot since when the winds come from the Northwest they blow out of the canyon pretty hard.
Photo shot from a Catalina 50 that also spent the night there.
It was a super-low tide; there were hundreds of abalone on the rocks around the cove. Maybe in my lifetime we will be able to harvest them again.
Jubilee was very happy to flop over onto an easier port tack about half an hour later

Alas, boat is on the hard for the winter. Picture of the haulout dock, looking onto Mississippi River with Minnesota Bluffs to the west.

One of many whales seen from the deck of Que Chévere this summer -- this one, on Stellwagen Bank in Massachusetts Bay, got a tad close!
