Turning 50 in Bodega Bay
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 8:49PM Pat mentioned in an email that Hitchcock filmed The Birds here at Bodega Bay. Seems like a good place as any to turn 50 in. I had a very nice day, the weather was sunny and fairly warm. We made omelets and biscuits for breakfast, went out for a great lunch (courtesy of Dale) and had Thai curry with spinach salad and key lime pie to put the candles in. Nadia's idea and creation. Mercifully there are only 5 small candles on board for celebrations, we only used four of them. It was a small but fabulous
party. I'm now the proud owner of an underwater camera system. I can't wait to get to someplace where the water is a little bit warmer. The water outside Pt, Reyes is 49F. Also many thanks to Pat and John for the magazines and $$. Nadia, Brenda and I went for a walk and flew kites. Kite and other wind sports are a big deal here. The wind never seems to stop. The Bodega Bay buoy was reporting 29G41 kts at 7 pm and we hope it will subside so we can make the final run to San Francisco.
An apology to Suelaine for dragging Dale along on such a long outing. He's been very good to us and Nadia has grown quite attached to him.

(at ½ that age)… :-)
Just looked at your logged ships position out in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.
So, also congratulations on making it to San Francisco!
Good work on the sailing down the coast, all with great skill!
