San Francisco – Caro Babbo

San Francisco is Closed

Ko Olina Marina, Ko Olina HI, 17-MAR-2020 — Yesterday an official announced that in San Francisco and seven surrounding counties all non-essential businesses would close and everyone was to remain in their homes.

Before we left for the airport we learned the Visa Office would abide by the rule and would also close.

Delta kindly credited us for the fare with no fees.

It is also unclear whether we would be able to land in French Polynesia or anywhere else.

Quick Note

Aquatic Park, NPS, San Francisco, 5-SEP-2019 – A quick note to let everyone know we’re okay.

We arrived in San Fran, Tuesday afternoon after a night Bodega Bay, resting.

I have a few posts to make and much to write.

As beginners, we did fine. We learned a tremendous amount, which has changed our thinking on a number of things.

Jennifer found it a terrifying experience and is rethinking everything. This will have a large effect on our forward plans. We are (or seem to be) resolved to sail down to San Diego.

The experience for me was very interesting. It is important to trust the equipment and the boat that so much time, effort, money and thought was put into. It will work.
