Santa Barbara

Today is October 1st and our last day in Santa Barbara. It has been a wonderful layover and we were going to leave 2 days ago but, that nasty water leak showed up again. I finally have it under control. Not to panic, it is a fresh water leak so we are not sinking. New parts await us in San Diego so I can make a permanent fix before we are off to Mexico.

Our new friends from Monterey, Richard and Marci, "dropped by" for a surprise visit a couple of days ago. What a great surprise. They even drove Sue and Katherine to Ralph's for provisions!

It has been warm here and we have done plenty of walking. No Peet's coffee but the Santa Barbara Roasting Company is great.

This evening we went to the Santa Barbara Yacht Club for a glass of wine and a beer. They had their Wednesday evening races and it was fun to see all those spinnakers out there.

Off tomorrow to Santa Cruz Island, specifically Smugglers Cove where we will meet up again with Jay, Katherine and Kensey on "Kat Den Rie".
