Update Time!

Hi-lo!

Sorry for the lack of blogs. I have been... out of it. We have just been doing alot of traveling lately. Since we've left San Francisco we've traveled to Point Conception. What a funny name. For the last few days we had been waiting out the bad weather in a small little cove in San Simeon. Its A beautiful little harbor with a population of ten. Literally. The beach is warm and sandy with large waves that you could body surf in. Not to mention the amazing amount of wildlife there. There are hundreds of pelicans that all dive down on a swarm of herring a the same time. Its really cool to watch. There is an obvious pecking order for the food supply in the bay. By the time the pelicans get there, the large groups of 20-25 sea otters have come  and gone.  Then the big pelicans get to dive on the food first then comes the younger and smaller pelicans then the seagulls and kestrels dive in on the food. This all happen within the time of 5 min. Usually less then that. It was really cool. There were also whales that came in to the harbor get shrimp and krill. They came in at sunrise and sunset. It really was a cool harbor. 

The only downside was how difficult it was to get in to shore. The waves made it difficult to land on the beach. The first attempt we had our dinghy flipped. Of course we had the motor on. That got flooded so we had to row back. And all our stuff got wet. The second time we went the boat didn't flip but we also had to row the distance and time the waves. It definitely takes practice. I just hope that doesn't happen in front of every boat in the Baha Haha.

Speaking of Baha Haha, the race is only two weeks away. I am really excited!! We just heard about a hurricane thats going along the coast destroying things in Mexico. Right now it is just above La Pas. Oh joy. Everything will be recovering from the storm by the time we get there. Any-who i'm gonna sign of and update wen we get around the point.
