Next Steps; taking in the sites

Well as some of you may or may not know, this is my (Tracey) last stop until southern California.  Yes, we've finally come to a decision that Ed will go on and I will head back to Seattle for a couple of weeks, flying to meet up with him when he hits Long Beach.  I am confindent in his skills as a skipper that he will arrive safely into each harbor on down the coast - but if you pray to a deity of any kind, say a little pray for him!  I honestly feel more comfortable with him going south than trying to bring the boat home against wind and water.  In the meantime, we've been taking in some of the sites of Newport.  Definately a fishing village.  Not so sweet smell of fish and crab and barking Sea Lions 24/7.

p.s. did you notice how that shrimp is being 'cleaned' and shipped?  Open air trucking...yikes!
