Being able to spend an entire month in my hometown of Santa Cruz was wonderful, which is why leaving was so bittersweet. But before we cast off again Chris left us for Hollywood and Cleo and I (okay, just I) were left to tend to Avocet's to-do list. When Chris returned we got some biking in and learned more about Santa Cruz's bike history culture. Huge thanks to my family, to Ariel for the interview, and to Austin for showing us the trail.

Growing up in Santa Cruz is special, being a third generation local is even more special. It's safe to say Santa Cruz is in my blood, which is why being able to sail our boat Avocet there was such a personal goal that I am so thrilled we fulfilled. We got to experience the anchorage, the dinghy access on the Wharf, and of course lots of family time before Chris threw a wrench in our plans. I know this is a very "Marissa heavy" video, but it was very special to me and these videos above all else are time capsules for us to look back on 💙 Fair winds!

After three weeks of anchoring around the San Francisco Bay we decided to flex our reciprocal yacht club privileges and visit the Neely family’s old stomping – or sailing – grounds in Berkeley to replenish our tanks, and pick up some day crew for the San Francisco Fleet Week festivities. Our time in Berkeley was spent reminiscing and making new memories with friends and of course completing projects that were (of course) laced within. Dock life is sweet but we were ready to keep moving and decided it was time to make our way out of the gate, bidding SF Bay farewell.

Aquatic Park Cove is a human-made harbor that mimics a natural anchorage, offering a protected area for recreational swimming, sailing and rowing with a beautiful backdrop of one of San Francisco’s most prominent city fronts, such as Alcatraz Prison. Visiting the notorious prison has been on my bucket list since I was a kid, so I was stoked to get the opportunity to finally visit the rock. We also got close and personal with the Golden Gate Bridge, and connected with a fellow Cheoy Lee Owner and shipright. Interested in volunteering with the Maritime Museum?

Richardson Bay has a long history of being a gathering place for the eclectic, creative and wealthy but most recently has gained notoriety for its local governments attempts to remove all liveaboards that they have nicknamed the "anchor outs" who have enjoyed living in rent-free boat homes in the Bay Area. Their boats, anchored just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, float illegally in the sightline of one of the country’s wealthiest zip codes. But now, as enforcement ramps up, their way of life could be coming to an end. Although our time in Richardson Bay was short, we had the opportunity to meet with some of the anchor outs who were the kindest people just trying to survive. This issue is multifaceted so we recommend you check out some of the documentaries on issue! We also had the opportunity to get a birds eye view of the bay, flying with Seaplane and Aero Adventures thanks to my pal Ashley, in between chores of course 😉 Check out the Vice documentary on Anchor Outs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnbpLcH59lI Check out Seaplane Adventures: https://seaplane.com Chapters: 0:00 - 1:14 Richardson Bay Anchorage info 1:14 - 2:33 We Almost Bought a Smoker Boat!!! 2:34 - 2:57 Lay of the Land 2:58 - 3:38 Sausalito/Richardson Bay History 3:39 - 4:51 Living Aboard is ILLEGAL?! 4:52 - 7:39 Chores Ashore 7:41 - 11:56 Flying HIGH with Seaplane Adventures 11:57 - 13:01 What's Next on Sailing Avocet ______________ Follow us on social media!

Ahoy from Morro Bay! We are anchored here while waiting out the storms, but alongside good company like our buddy Reid (@odysseyalternative572) who has definitely helped keep us entertained. Between storms we were able to go to shore and stretch our legs, sparking the idea to do a dinghy anchor test between our Mantus anchor and Reid's Danforth anchor. Enjoy!
