October 24-25

We did it! We finally left Berkeley Marina at about 2:30 pm on the 24th after a rough two days of waiting for a part for our water pump and hours of installation work on said part. The weather was perfect. We averaged 5.5 knots and made it to Clipper Cove (between Yerba Buena and Treasure Island) at 5:30 pm. We had homemade chili veggie dogs on cornbread for dinner and enjoyed a peaceful evening at anchor. This morning we unloaded the dinghy and went for a hike on the beach.

This is a test

I am trying to make sure that emails are sent when we update the blog. If you'd like to receive updates please send an email to : tothebeach36@gmail.com and we will add you to the email updates list.

Pictures and updates to come soon. Right now we're just working hard to make sure we can leave by Sunday. Stay tuned :)
