After working without a real day off since early 2019, I finally took a day off and didn’t even check my work email once. Since there’s still a pandemic happening, I spent the day walking around Monterey and enjoying the nice fall weather.
It’s great taking a Monday off. There was hardly anyone else walking around in town. It felt like a mini vacation.
The US Coast Guard Cutter Morris (WSC-147) stopped off in Monterey on a voyage from the Sacramento area to Texas to a new museum home. This is an Active-class patrol boat dating back to 1927 and was in service until 1971. Pretty neat seeing this old ship go through Monterey on her way to the Panama Canal and points eastward.
A dead fin whale washed up on Asilomar Beach earlier this week. This thing is absolutely massive! And it stinks.
