We left Noyo Harbor with no problems. Nice clear, sunny, beautiful and calm day. Departed around 2pm with plan to run overnight past Cape Mendocino to get to Crescent City, CA.
Twas a very nice afternoon. Saw a pod of dolphins feeding and some left the feast to ride our wave. With us they tend to ride our side wave from the displacement hull vs the bow wave.
We did the overnight with 3 hour alternating shifts. I did 8-11, Alex 11pm to 2am, then me 2-5 AM. Neither of us got much sleep so we were tired upon arrival. Sunset was around 8:30 pm, nice.
Arriving at Crescent City it was overcast but clear. Entered into harbor without any problems, stopped at check in dock and fortunately harbor mistress was there at 7:30 am, our time of arrival. We were assigned a slip with the fishing boats. We took a lovely long beach walk on Crescent City Beach
We stayed two nights at Crescent City. 2nd day, after a good night sleep, we walked north from Marina to town. Nice waterfront park. Also north coast Marine Mammal Center, a lighthouse and a brewery. Stopped at Seaquake brewery and got a flight of their beers in honor of Albert 🙂 . They make all their own beers at had a wide selection of their IPA’s in our beer flight.
We caught a fleeting glimpse of what looked like a Sasquatch on the hill outside town but by the time we got closer it was gone, photo is with tele-photo lens so we where a ways away when picture taken.
Sasquatch?
