Almost to California

WOW What a trip, long story short... we go out and get disabled (meaning that our engine over heated, our halyard parted and we were all very exhausted and tired)so we have to call the coastguard as we drift southerly. They get here and tow us up to brookings instead of crescent city (which, by the way is in california)and brooking is in Oregon! So they took us back to Oregon instead of california, which is were we were heading,and that sort of bummed us out but the coastgaurds were pretty awesome...they were like a team out there! meanwhile Liz and me are down below keeping from hurling and huckle can't get to the bathroom so he urinates on Tim and Liz's bed and then on Austen's. So we have a lot of laundry a messy boat and 18 miles before California, that's a lot of work, but luckily there was a best western in front of the small marina and we got a room for two nights.

P.S. Lizabeth is in "love" with the Coastgaurds
