Back to San Francisco - November 10, 2013

From Hilo we started for home.  We spent four days at sea.  During that time we saw several groups of dolphins.  The first three days were cloudy and cool, but the fourth day was sunny with very calm seas.  On the fifth day, early at around 3:00, we arrived at Encinada.  This was just a four-hour stay, required by law.  There wasn't much of interest there, and it would have been a rather long walk to get into town, so we decided not to go ashore.  We were glad we did, because soon it became cold and foggy. 

One more day at sea and we arrived early in the morning in San Francisco.

After a day in San Francisco we took the train home.
