Heading out again...

... this time for a long haul. The next leg of the trip is from Monterey Bay to Morro Bay. If you've been following on a map, you might notice that this leg is slightly longer than all 3 of our last trips combined.

Dad found a travel journal of some other people who did this trip around the same time of year with a slightly smaller and they did it in about 27 hours. However, they had favourable winds... and guess what, we're getting S-SW winds the entire way, which means we'll be motoring against the wind. Looking at... at Least 30 hours? Closer to... a year? Divine intervention would be swell.

Speaking of swells, I picked up some sea-sickness drugs today.

So, today, dad did some wiring while I stayed in bed and read (an entire book), then dad did some more wiring while I checked the internet. We went out and got more groceries (including some MEAT this time... mmmm...) and then wandered around a nearby farmer's market that, luckily, is only open on Tuesdays. Saw plenty of fun costumes (a lot of goths out here...), and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping. Dad bought a toque for tomorrow's overnighter, and I bought a scarf.

Wish us well. These next few days are going to be tough, and from what I've heard about after Morro Bay, it's an even rougher journey than this next one.
