Hearst Castle

Took an extra day to tour Hearst Castle. Started with dial a ride that took us from the marina to city park for only a dollar each. Then within fifteen minutes, boarded bus that goes to San Simeon. That also only cost us a dollar each. Ride was scenic and pleasant. Different view of beaches and local businesses. Difficult to describe everything we saw, but would highly recommend seeing Hearst Castle if given the opportunity. Here at Morro Bay we sit out in the cockpit and watch pelicans catching smelt. They dive into the water with such force it is scary. Keep thinking they will break something or knock themselves out. Really amazing to watch. So graceful when flying, but trip over their on feet on land. Guess that is why they stay on the water. We are now headed toward Santa Barbara.

Wind appears to be in dearth display all up and down the coast! Not much here in the Puget Sound either. Glad to hear all is well. Hearst Castle is wonderful to see. You'll love Santa Barbara its a great place to enjoy for a couple of days! Thinking of you often!
