We have about 2-3 days work left to get ready to go and the weather looks good for Sunday-Wednesday at least, that’s as far out as the forecast goes. Barring any unforeseen difficulties we’re outta here early Sunday morning and we’ll pull into Morro Bay for a day or two Monday night or so. If […]

Occupy Oakland

2 November 2011

Eli is being home schooled so we always look for experiences to educate him. Today as we were driving through Oakland after a Doctor’s appointment, right past the encampment, Eli voiced some real interest in what was going on. We decided to park and have a look. We walked around through the group of protesters […]

It Was Great!

Our first sail really couldn’t have gone better. We sailed from Alameda past Treasure Island, past Angel Island Tiburon, and Paradise Cay and up towards San Rafael. We experienced winds from 0 to 18 knots and some pretty gnarly currents. On the way back south towards Alameda, we were pushed close to Angel Island and […]

First Sail?

We’re planning to take our beautiful girl, Landfall, out for her first sail in many years today. The conditions look great. I hope she enjoys her return to what she was destined for. I’m telling us that it’s nothing to be nervous about and that it’s just like when we’ve motored about except that we’ll […]

Almost Done

After many many delays and much more time and expense than we ever expected, we’re almost done here. It will be good to leave the Bay Area and get to someplace warm and affordable. We should be in Morro Bay within 2 weeks. Clearly Morro Bay is neither warm or affordable but it’s on the […]

First Night

We slept aboard last night, the first time since right after Eli got the tracheostomy about 12 1/2 years ago. It was the first good night’s sleep that I’ve had in many years. You just can’t sleep like this anywhere else. This boat has the most seakindly motion and in fact it’s even nicer on […]

Hanging out

We have the mast down, we took it down last Tuesday and we have an appointment to have it re-stepped this Tuesday. Almost everything that could be wrong with the hardware, electrical, or running rigging was wrong. We’ve had a hard week getting everything prepared but we’re almost done with this stage and tomorrow shouldn’t […]

In the water

After a marathon effort by all three of us we finally launched Landfall last week. This is good. It’s really good. The only water intrusion was through one small through-hull seacock. We plan to use it later for our saltwater foot pump for washing dishes but we don’t need to hook all of that up […]

Sorry

We’re sorry it’s been so long since our last update. We’ve moved up to the boatyard and we’ve been busting our butts to get this boat in the water. We just established internet access so there will be more tonight. Thanks friends! Steve
