Listened to the Manana Net on shortwave. I finally signed on and tried to contact Ken and Brick, but they weren't listening. Still, it was a major step forward in my learning to be a ham.
After lunch, we paddled around the harbor and then pulled up on the ramp next to the Harbor Master's office. There's a little yacht club in a corner of the marina that has a guest dock. Went over there and received permission to tie up at their dock for 48 hours.
Walked around for a while. Monterey has certainly changed. The old canneries are gone. In their place are an attractive plaza, murals, and museums.
Around 4:30, we returned to the Jofian and brought her in to the guest dock. At first, we thought there was no electrical outlet, but fortunately I asked the woman in the yacht club and she showed us a little 15-amp outlet tucked away in a corner. So now we have heat and refrigeration and can cook without running the generator. We can even watch television. All the comforts of home! (But we can only operate one or two things at a time.)
