Waiting in Crescent City

Well, 3 nights in Crescent City and we just got the bouy report just off of here - 10 foot waves at 7 seconds. So it looks like we are here for another night. This waiting is frustrating since we are already late in leaving from San Francisco in order miss the tropical storms off of Mexico. We may have to alter our course to Hawaii or directly to Tahiti, bypassing the Marqueses since we may not be able to sail safely south near the Mexican coast. The other option would be to head down the coast to
Costa Rica and then offshore from there to the Marqueses. Nadia is the best crew member in dealing with this. She is happy wherever we are, in fact her vote is to stay in Crescent City. There is a public pool for swimming, a beach, a good Thai restaurant, and yesterday a visit to Ocean World. This was a bit on the hokey side but Nadia loved the sea lion show and she got to pet a leopard shark. People continue to be very generous to us. We have been given crab to eat and been offered rides all over
town. Hopefully we will be underway again tomorrow.
Brenda.
