After lots of discussions and what ifs we have decided to go back to Florida after all. There is too much on the east coast to leave behind. High on the list is how more difficult it would be for me to visit family. Then there is the birding that we enjoy so much in the winter.
We are still selling our homestead in Clerbrook. We will use Kars Park in Merritt Island as a home base during the winter months, with a trip to Key West and other birding places as the mood strikes.
Our friends Walt and Darla are getting the place ready to sell. Our lease is up Nov 1 so fingers crossed it sells quickly and we won’t be stuck paying the monthly rent for long.
We’ve been to Fisherman’s Wharf several times and usually have an awesome meal at one of the many restaurants. The sea lions and sea otters cavort in Monterey Bay and although very noisy they are fun to watch.
Another one of our favorite things to do is 17 mile drive which has several scenic places to stop. This beach is one where Zoe loves to roll in the sand.
Another stop is called Bird Rock. The sea lions and sea otters hang out there.
We’ve had many good times here in Watsonville and I will miss this place.
We will start back to Florida in a few days.

I can see why you’ve enjoyed this time in sunny CA so much. And your otter and seal photos are almost as terrific as your bird photography. But there’s a world of difference between East and West Coasts, and now you know some of the western places you’ll want to revisit, next time you have the urge to shove off on a big road trip.
It’s been tons of fun riding along with you the past few months! I wish you very smooth traveling back to Florida.
Take good care! — Linda T.
