After a day in fog yesterday and waking up in San Simeon to more of the same, the decision was unanimous to keep going. Although it may have been nice to stay and see Hearst Castle the possibility existed that when we got there the fog would be so thick we couldn't the building! Instead we would take the short hop down to Port San Luis where hopefully we would find some warmer weather and better anchorage.
In the end our decision was rewarded and when we arrived we were greeted by bright sunshine and about 30 crazily barking seals at the fuel dock. Our anchorage was even more amazing, being as there were about 100,000 birds just chilling out and relaxing on the surface. That is until this happened:
The next day on popping into town we asked why there were so many birds (and also fishermen) and apparently there was some sort of sardine free for all going on in the bay. To our amazement we were to see dolphin, seal and bird feeding frenzies over the next day all targeting the poor sardines. Even Johnny got in on the action catching his biggest fish of the whole trip.
Here's 1000 seals going ape shit over some sardines
