    Benicia

    Yesterday in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Departed San Francisco this morning at 8:30am and ran around 16 mph for the 36 mile trip to Benicia. It was a beautiful day, and San Pablo Bay was pretty calm with little wind. The only thing that could have made it better, is if we didn’t have an ebb tide pushing against us at about 2 mph. We passed close by to East Brothers Light. I was told this use to be a B&B, but they had a hard time making a go of it. Someone else said they saw an advertisement for a caretaker couple and the pay was $60,000/year. (This is near San Francisco and Oakland. Probably not exactly high pay here…) We pulled into Benicia around 11:00. Some of the gals went for coffee early in the afternoon. I got my kayak down and peddled over to the dock some of our other C-Dorys were at. Then early this evening we all met to get some group photos, then went out to Sailor Jacks for supper. This is our last night together. Tomorrow we head back to Rio Vista and for most of us, put our boats back on their trailers.Read more
