Day 5 - Santa Barbara

We arrived at 7 AM off the coast of Santa Barbara.  It's a tender port.  Our tender was at 8 AM and we had tickets for the Trolley Tour.  It was excellent.  We drove through Montecito and Funk Town.  We got off the trolley and walked to a jewellery store, where I met my cousin Dale's daughter, Suzanne!  We've never met before and it was great to see her.  Then we went back to the waterfront and walked down the pier.

Lots of pelicans!

Santa Barbara is a beautiful city.  Many buildings are Mediterranean-style white stucco buildings with red tile roofs.  Upscale boutiques and restaurants and a very clean city!

We are sailing to San Diego so it was an early 3:30 departure.  Much calmer seas and finally blue sky and no fog!
