San Simeon - September 8, 2009


We pulled anchor at approximately 1:30 pm in Morro Bay. The winds had died down considerably and the seas had calmed somewhat. We tentatively planned on making a run for Monterey Bay, but the winds picked up, making the seas choppy.

We anchored in the San Simeon Bay, below the Hearst Castle at around 5:30 pm. Several sailboats and a few fishing boats which we had seen in the Morro Bay harbor were also anchored in the bay.

We hit the hay early, so as to get a good jump on things the next morning. The photo above is of our view of the Hearst Castle (high atop the hill) from the Sea Crest. It was a great place to anchor, quuiet and peaceful.
