Arrived Port San Luis Obispo

Lighthouse at Pt San Luis
Arrived Port San Luis Obispo about 4:00pm yesterday. A light wind, light seas trip. Mostly foggy throughout the leg although there were periods of good visibility. This is a good harbor with a big breakwater and some nice beaches but not many facilities near by.

At mooring Port San Luis
The highlight of the trip were a visit by a group of dolphins at dawn yesterday. I saw one come up to the side of the boat and then move to the bow. When I stood up and moved toward the bow, there were 6 to 7 playing in the bow pressure wave. They would swim along tight to the bow and as the boat moved downward off a swell, they would shoot forward and then fall back and do it again. They were there for a good 10 minutes. I got some grainy video and will try to post when I get a good internet connection.

Plan to stay here today, as there's somewhat milder weather predicted for tomorrows rounding of Pt Conception and Santa Barbara channel.
