Welcome Bob & Frances! How lucky to be able to cruise as often as you do. I'm very familiar with the area where you live because my mom lived there until her death 2 years ago. There's so much to see and do in marin county (and good eating too!) Your life stories are fascinating, It would be so interesting to hear Bob tell his experience in the alaskan earthquake, I was in the big one in Guatemala in 1976 (almost 30,000 died) and it's one of the few natural disasters where there is no warning and no place to hide!
I agree that cruises 10 days or more are the ideal! Heaven, right? Again a warm welcome to you both! Barbara
