65: time to hit the road

Nai’a is my dear friends Alan & Ellen’s 1986 Wauquiez Centurion 47; a true ocean-going yacht.

This is Nai’a’s journey from her home of the past 23 years: the San Francisco Marina, to Point Roberts, Washington, outside of Vancouver BC, where she will spend Winter 2022.

Part I: SF to Spud Point Marina, Bodega Bay.

So long SF..

Leslie and I accompanied Alan, Ellen and Cliff on a day-long jaunt to check out Nai’a’s new systems, get a head start, and have some fun..

After dinner at the St Francis & overnight aboard Sat night, up and off before the crack of dawn Sun AM..

.. and out the Golden Gate. .

No wind and calm seas; motored the whole way..

Secured Nai’a, had oysters & fish tacos at the dockside eatery, and headed home.

Part II commences next Sat, Oct 1.
