Last Day in Monterey Bay

Nov 17: We didn't go anywhere today. Slept in until 7:30, showered, had some coffee, emptied three 5-gallon jerry jugs of diesel into port tank, filled up all four jerry jugs with diesel and secured them to starboard deck, filled water tanks, removed and replaced bilge pads, checked engine water and oil levels. NJ cleaned the "windows", and we found out we could watch the football games on our very own TV. Monterey, as we found out yesterday, was having a Half Marathon today, and we watched what seemed like a gazillion people running past us down the path just outside of the facility we're moored at. Nancy prepared a meatloaf and large bowl of mac-n-cheese. We ate the stuffed scallop and stuffed crab shells, which we bought at Nob Hill Groceries yesterday, during the 49ers game. Taste-wise, Scallops won out handily. We'll turn in early tonight in preparation for tomorrow's departure (we have a "check-out" time of 11 a.m. Next stop should be San Simeon, which means an overnight (approximately 15-18 hour trip). Looking forward to that. Hopefully, the clouds will be sparse enough to let the full moonlight through...
