We arrived in Coos Bay this past Friday. Today is Sunday and we are still here. Wind and sea forecasts offshore look pretty nasty, so we've decided to wait it out and let things settle. As we are in no particular rush, we have the luxury of going when ever we want. So here we are. At this point, it looks like our window to leave Coos Bay and head south opens on Wednesday morning and conditions all the way to San Francisco look like we'll be in for a smooth downwind sail. If all goes well, we should arrive in San Francisco on Saturday morning. The plan is to moor at Marina Bay in Richmond. We'll be there for about a week before resuming our southward trek.
Until then, we are enjoying the break in the action and checking out what Coos Bay has to offer. Today, we took a walk to the Coast Guard look out that they use for monitoring the bar conditions. Tomorrow, we plan to go into town and see what kind of trouble we can get into and then on Tuesday, we'll spend some time making sure that Talos IV is ready for the next leg.
