As often as not, I've gone solo taking the annual voyage to/from the Richmond boatyard, but admit that having Perla along is "funner."

Sure, it's always more fun with family and friends, but sometimes an extended solo trip is good for the soul...kind of like a retreat for the spirit. Sometimes I feel like Ernest Hemingway....Old Man and The River!
I spent last weekend with friends fishing and camping while I slept onboard at the nearby marina. Got windy Sunday when anchored out at Decker Island, but I had great wind protection. Moved into Montezuma Slough to escape the wind and enjoy some sturgeon fishing. It's been perfect here...low 70s, light winds, no bugs, calm waters.
Near Rio Vista, I got my first green sturgeon, a protected species that cannot be removed from the water.
Cspeudonym made some floor jacks for me to raise the pilothouse and better support the deck from sagging. They need a few more parts and a couple coats of paint, so I'll head home tomorrow to tackle that and deal with some family wedding issues. Then I'll return to the boat on Sat or Sun to install the deck jacks and for more maritime retreat.
Moving toward the SF Bay next week...some halibut fishing and maybe Angel Island for a night or two.
