I'm off to California bright and early Saturday morning. And when I say bright and early, I mean 5am. We had our pre-departure seminar tonight and boy will we be busy. We're cramming as much as we can into the week we will out west. I'll give you a general idea of the kinds of things we'll be doing and seeing while we're out there. If you want a more specific itinerary, let me know and I'll send one along.
On October 2, we visit San Gregorio State Beach and then head on to Half Moon Bay for the night. Sunday (10/3), we visit the California coast, learn some Pacific history, and then head to Monterey Bay for the evening. Monday (10/4) we spend exploring Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Pt. Lobos. On October 5, we make our way up to San Francisco and take a ride on the Crowley tug. We also visit China Camp and the San Francisco Headlands. We have a free night in San Francisco that night. We head out on the Alma for a short sail on the morning of October 6 and then explore the city of San Francisco itself with various lectures thrown in. October 7, we head to Bodega Head, Fort Ross, a redwood forest and explore some coastal tide pools. The 8th, we visit Tomales Bay, Pt. Reyes, and Drakes Beach and then have a free day on October 9th. October 10 brings us back to Mystic.
It should be a packed week but a totally awesome ride. Can't wait!
