03/04/14: ALL Right  . We left the marina today after settling up at the marina and a quick stop at the fuel dock   One glitch was the port was officially closed so we where not able to get our paperwork to clear the port .   With today's daytime high tide last for several days we wanted to get out the channel.    It was blowing a bit and there was some rocking to rolling on the short sail over to the San Carlos bay.   The cat was NOT happy initially, but seemed to settle in after an hour.   We dropped the hook in time for lunch and Susan barbequed up a couple of giant T-bones to celebrate being out on the water.   After lunch Susan and Cooper went to the marina to find Gypsy Wind, a boat that we found on a mutual friend's blog.   They are on the same schedule as we are and have a are Cooper's age.   While they were off the boat I tore it up and finished wiring the new solar panel and charge controller.   It's nice to put amps in the batteries during the day and Should cut down the need to run the generator at anchor.
