If there’s fog or low cloud anywhere along the coast North of Santa Barbara, you’ll generally find some of it around Monterey. In addition to the fluff we saw in the prior post here, the air over the whole peninsula was a close cousin of cloudy: hazy. So the dozens of pix we snapped there mostly didn’t come out well even though the views we enjoyed were spectacular. Still, here’s a look at Lucas Point, past Pacific Grove and out across the bay.

Last for today, a look back past Seaside and Sand City to the Monterey Regional Airport (KMRY) where we’ve landed only once or twice but usually hear private jets talking to ATC as we pass. The friendly people in that control tower cleared us to make this luxurious transition along their scenic shores.
