I did experience some slight sea sickness when we left the harbor. Jamie gave me some wristbands with pressure point knobs that did the trick immediately. I think I chose to go below too quickly before I developed my sea legs.
Capt. Jamie's very informative lesson of the day is that his wife Elaine is Admiral. Admiral outranks the Captain in certain decisions like: Go or No go, etc. Jamie, I forget what other decisions Admiral Alien makes. Perhaps you can fill us in. It was comical how you described Elaine's ability to outrank you in some instances.
Unfortunately, Elaine wasn't able to sail this trip with us. Work calls. She is keeping the marina in check at Cabrillo Isle while we voyage for 8 days or so. We'll miss you Elaine.
Capt. served our first lunch at 11:30 while underway. Cherries, peaches, smoked salmon, cheese sticks, Trader Joe's Cilantro Jalapeno hummus and their Nothing But Sea Salt Bagel Chips.
Noon our sails go up Winds are at 9 knots now. The water sounds soothing like gentle waves at a lakeshore. Water depth is 315 feet deep.
3:30 arrived at Oceanside. Called Zach and Jessica Curran to see if we could get together and meet their baby boys. Marine Drill Sergeant couldn't get time off but Jessica came to our marina and brought her boys. They LOVED touring the floating hotel. We met right in back of the Jolly Roger Restaurant there. Their boys are Ben who is 9 months and Calvin who is 2.5 years old.
At dinner time we walked the marina to the other side of town and had a memorable dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. They serve drinks in mason jars. Two agave margarita's later and I was having too much fun. The wait staff there all dance to a certain song all at the same time. It was entertaining to see them all drop what they were doing to perform this dance. The food was quite good and the place was stimulus overload which created an instant party vibe! I will Yelp this place and give it a 5 forks grade. Loved it!
Back at the boat, Rob tucked me in for a solid night's sleep dockside. The boys stayed up and visited longer. I was 3 sails to the wind by the time we got back.
Never seen you 3 sails to the wind before! A mason jar size. Hmm, I bet you are loads of fun even without the drinks. Glad the pressure points worked for your sea sickness. Sea legs, how cute.
