San Francisco

We arrived yesterday (Wednesday) to much fanfare (on the boat) and hoopla. Sunshine, no fog and calm winds. We are staying at a marina in The Marina district. A short walk or bus ride from all the sights. There is a lot of activity all around us. Lasers and larger boats sailing in the bay, wind surfers, kite flyers, joggers etc. I spent my first full day doing maintenance. A few things have broken and need attention. I met a fellow on the docks who does a host of repair work and he helped me out
with getting a part welded. I still have a few things to do but have managed to complete most of the important work. Brenda and Nadia went to the Exploratorium, science center.
It's a pleasure to be here. I feel we really deserve it. There is a great deal of satisfaction in doing a trip like this all on your own. Making all the decisions and taking responsibility for the outcome. It has been a long trip, much much longer than I would have expected. Everyone learned a great deal. Now it's time to relax and get ready for the next leg. Whatever that may be.
