We started preflighting my Cessna 150, N88808, hopped in, and were dissapointed to find a dead battery. No fear, that's the benefit of being checked out in multiple aircraft at the airport! We put the 150 away and switched to a C172, within a few minutes we were airborn! The nice thing about the 172 in this case is it was faster, so even after our delay of preflighting two aircraft, we still beat the girls by about 10 minutes.
My favorite restaurant up there is the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, they've got excellent food, plus indoor and outdoor dining. We didn't take the dogs this time, but if you eat outdoors, dogs are welcome. We had a great meal, walked the girls out to the parking area so they could see the plane, then departed back for Watsonville.
This time, since there were no delays in switching aircraft, even though we flew down along the coast, we still beat them by probably an hour, and got to see a great sunset starting along the way
