Trip To San Simeon

We pulled our anchor up at about 6 pm from Stillwater Cove (Pebble Beach). The trip to San Simeon is 16 hours more or less. We prefer not to leave and arrive in the dark so that meant doing another night passage. I'm not sure if we are wimps but it was another tough one. I sometimes think I must be downloading weather reports for the wrong region. What the weather forecasters say we will see and what actually materializes are two different things. We were supposed to get 3 to 5 foot swells. Instead
we saw these rather large, often breaking waves, splashing over our stern and sides. It was windy and rough. Neither Brenda or I slept. Under those conditions it's nice to have two people on watch. Nadia on the other hand seems to do very well in those conditions. It seems this part of the Pacific is really going to make us work.

After a rest we will explore the nice beach here and walk up to Hearst Castle which sits on a hill above the Bay.
