On this weeks episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we spend a little time in San Luis Obispo Bay waiting for the right time to jump to Cojo Bay, Goleta Bay and Santa Barbara. The crew enjoyed each of the stops, but it is time to tackle a few major projects before we enter Mexico and Santa Barbara will be the right place to do them. Come back next week to see what we are up too...see you then!

previously on onward lifestyle we sailed

from san simeon bay to morro bay we

picked up a mooring ball and enjoyed the

swift current courtesy of a series of

king tides this region was experiencing

the crew spent nearly a week exploring

this quiet seaside town

compass was happy to get a little beach

time in

[Music]

we spent a day hiking around moro rock

then dig into a wholesome meal

oh that's smoky

morro bay was a great stop but we are on

the move and looking forward to new

scenery

the float plan for the leg from morro

bay to san luis obispo bay was

straightforward

we left morro bay at high slack tide

midday to avoid the strong incoming

currents that we had been experiencing

the 22.5 nautical mile sail was forecast

to be variable winds from light to 25

knots so at times we sailed and other

times we assisted with our twin myanmar

diesel engines

we are now

coming towards the diablo canyon nuclear

power plant

and we're taking a wise swing around it

because we did not want to repeat what

happened the last time tio and i came

around here we cut it too close because

it was just perfect wind

and

this

black

i don't know it's not a dinghy because

it was it was just a little bit bigger

than that anyways they came out to yell

at us saying that we were too close so

i do not want to have that happen again

and while we were here the last time

there was probably a hundred dolphins so

i've been hoping to see some it's just

glass smooth out here

and it's just gorgeous

the wind is almost non-existent but

we're trying to sail as much as we can

emma what do you think

this is

super cool out here i really hope to see

some animals though

animals

animals

the wind started light and as usual

built in the late afternoon just in time

to drop the anchor

[Music]

[Music]

well we just dropped the hook here

in san luis obispo bay

this is avila

beach right here

got a good bite we're in about

22 23 feet of water put out 150 feet of

chain

a little blustery on the way in

but it seems like it's uh starting to

calm down we should have a nice pleasant

night here

it was a good little run

it's only like 21 22 miles so we left at

noon and got here around four

it's a good good day though

oh

feels good just to sit down and relax in

a new place

uh-oh people are running what are they

doing

nothing i gotta finish up the bread

what's on the menu for tonight we have

roasted chicken and i made my tasha

bread

underway yeah i didn't even see a snake

that is it's like the fastest bread that

you can make underway emma what are you

doing

i'm just practicing my violin i don't

hear it

[Music]

[Laughter]

nice

[Music]

[Music]

anymore

this is going to be a good day because

you guys know how much i like food

and today is no different we are going

to have some grilled oysters today i've

been looking forward to this we picked

it up right before we headed out of

morro bay

and

we can get started once teal does a

quick tune-up on our old barbecue

this thing is

it needs help it needs help it needs a

tune up every uh it seems like every

couple months but uh we're gonna keep it

for as long as we can right you can only

tune this thing up so many times

but i need it to work today watch your

head i probably shouldn't be doing this

in a white t-shirt but

luckily look at that shiny new

burner element here

i shouldn't do this over the water

this is getting routine how to replace

all these components

it's well used that's for sure

it is

some good food's been grilled on here

we're good

that's it

lay em on there

teal is my girl

oyster boy

you just use me for my grilling skills

just for the grilling of the oysters

you have mastered it so

i know the hot spots

why mess with perfection right that's

right

it works it works

this is just a snack if it was up to me

i could easily do two dozen no problems

by myself but surprised you only picked

up a dozen well you know i didn't want

to be greedy and this is just the taste

okay

perfect size though i love these little

ones i know i do too

and i still have that leftover for kasha

bread so we can have that too for a

light lunch okay

you ready in just a few minutes

what up oh

fun little snacks finally and no

judgment i have to have oysters with a

glass of prosecco so

that's what i'm doing did i hear oysters

you never have to ask emma

to come to the table when there's

oysters that girl can sniff it out

eat them while they're hot

i should have gotten another dozen

well the girls are heading to shore

we'll see how they do

not much of a surf today but this should

be exciting

well that was a complete fail

we tried to kayak to shore and i timed

the sets

wrong

and

needless to say we are

wet

absolutely drenched

and i'm just so glad we didn't have it

on camera because that was embarrassing

okay time to explore

success

[Music]

[Music]

so we're going to go pick up lynn i

dropped her off about an hour ago she

has a grocery delivery coming in

there's three piers in san luis obispo

bay there's the apple up here which is

most of it's condemned now it's

dilapidated the cal poly pier which

you're not allowed to use but then all

the at the end of the bay is the san

luis obispo municipal pier which has a

dinghy dock that we can land at and

that's where we'll go find her hopefully

the groceries came in let's go get her

like butter

hopefully the groceries came in let's go

get her

like butter

[Music]

[Music]

oh man

we gotta get this thing cleaned

i don't

it's not a big deal but it's

embarrassing

got your groceries got my groceries we

are all set

one thing that's been good about coven

is delivery is pretty amazing we don't

have to walk anywhere to get groceries

anymore just deliver right to shore

watch the handle

and

we can get everything that we need

no problems and we need everything you

need

yes i do like my prosecco

i'm shaming teal now again

went out fishing today and just tore it

up and uh i've had zero luck so they're

they're sharing their bounty with us oh

guys just uh they lived here for the

past 40 or 50 years just wanted to

stop by say hi and share their bounty

look at that looks like we're going to

be eating some fish some fresh fish yum

what an unexpected surprise to have

local fishermen randy and mark stop by

with a generous gift of fresh caught

fish for us

what was supposed to be fish tacos for

the night ended up being an asian

inspired dish with fresh bok choy

steamed rice and a vietnamese

vinaigrette

[Music]

oh my god

so hot

it's so hot

actually i've been having so much fun

cooking up other fish dishes with the

other fish that teal and emma have been

catching for us it's just fun to rouse

them sometimes

the following few days was a whirlwind

for the crew

because basic would be spending the

night at a different location for four

consecutive nights

uh octopus

see him plop in he's right there

oh that's optimism

from san luis obispo bay we have to

round point conception and we'll be

making our next stop 54.5 nautical miles

south at koho bay

sailors that have transited this cape

have horror stories about the ferocity

this region can bring

we stayed in slo a few extra days to

time this leg comfortably

because we needed a 24-hour weather

window to anchor safely in this exposed

anchorage

here we are

we're in the coho anchorage

this right over here is government point

right around that

is point conception

notorious for foul weather we came

through at a good time and we did that

on purpose you know we timed it

correctly

winds are just starting to pick up just

a little bit

but we're tucked in here to the coho

anchorage

i wanted to make it here in daylight

hours it was about a 54-55 nautical mile

run today

and we made it with plenty of daylight

there's a lot of kelp beds i mean you

can see them all off in the distance

here

it's nice to get in here while you have

visibility so you can pick

just a nice spot to

give you peace of mind for the night

we haven't decided if we're gonna stay

here one night or two yet

i'm thinking

we'll see how it goes we'll wake up in

the morning see how we feel you know our

plan is to go to santa barbara but we

could also stop at goleta

i don't know

it's all up to the girls we'll we'll

talk over it

uh with coffee in the morning and if we

want to go we're going to go

it might be fun to stick around here do

some fishing

just explore it's just beautiful here

absolutely beautiful we have the entire

bay to ourselves

not one other boat in here

the open ocean is just right there

but the prominent swell is just coming

right past this bay

and

just a nice smooth motion in here

when the wind's out of the south i'm

sure it's different but right now

feels good

okay girls are downstairs now lin's

making a delicious meal i'm sure

it's time to just

unwind relax

and just take it all in

well good morning we had a great night

last night in the coho anchorage

and

as much as we like it here i think it's

time for us to head further south we are

actually officially in southern

california and i am so excited to not

have any more fog or

marine layer i'm sure that there will be

a little bit but not like what we were

dealing with in this

in northern california and the central

coast

which is funny because

seeing

when you look at the both of us and

shorts and a t-shirt per usual yep and i

am in full gear because i'm cold it is

cold this girl doesn't feel cold

teenagers

the forecast was for light winds from

the west building to 15 knots in the

afternoon

this was a short 31.6 nautical mile run

so we were tucked into goleta bay by

early afternoon

so

okay

are you gonna miss coletta

no i am not gonna miss a weather that

was not a good call

i did

it looks so pleasant somebody told you

that it was a cute place it lied

something

it was nice until about three in the

morning

well it was kind of rocky to begin with

but yeah it got really bad

we did not sleep well

that's for sure

it was a bumpy uncomfortable night in

goleta but our plan is to leave early

and head towards santa barbara

this leg was our shortest yet covering

10.2 nautical miles in less than two

hours

we were in route to the general

anchorage east of stearns wharf

but lynn made a few phone calls and was

able to secure one of those hard-to-get

and ties inside the marina so we jumped

on it
