Day 2 Eureka May 16

We had a great day in Eureka. Alexus called her friend Rhonda and she met us at the Marina and was the most gracious and charming host and a truly loving person. She drove and walked us around the sights of Eureka and Arcata. There are wonderful Victorian houses and a great "old downtown area"in Eureka. We had breakfast at the Samoan Cookhouse and the walk around town was a great pleasure, as was riding in a car. After spending the morning and early afternoon enjoying Rhonda's company, we returned to the harbor and picked up a few more chandlery items and simply took it easy. We would have enjoyed spending the day with Rhonda, but she had a wonderful evening planned with and for Rich. You go girl!!!When we came back to Woodley Marina our package, all our forwarded mail from Ava, at the Alameda UPS store had arrived. So we caught up on our mail and the normal things in life.

Well we still have good seas, a little fog has moved in, mostly because of the unusually warm weather and we are headed to Crescent City May 17,tomorrow morning around 6:30am, on a flood tide, and hope to make it by 5:30pm May 17th, Saturday. The seas are forecast to be 7 feet at 13 seconds out of the west and winds 5-7 knots out of the west.
