I’m sitting in the lovely Inn at Benicia Bay after a nice dinner down the street. My sister Naomi is getting married tomorrow morning.

So far on this trip, we’ve gone wakeboarding with Mike (Naomi’s fiancee) twice, got stranded overnight in Santa Cruz due to an alternator not working in the car we were driving and generally had an excellent week of fun in the sun. For Mike’s bachelor party we went salmon fishing out of Noyo Harbor up in Fort Bragg. Both Andy and I caught 19 lb salmon. We got them cleaned and fileted and vacuum-sealed at the harbor and ate salmon that evening. It was delicious.
