Clear Day

We have clear skies and a pretty day here in Moss Landing. There has been a alot of media "HYPE" about our situation in relation to fires. As you can see from this series of photos taken just minutes ago, we have clear air, we can see all the way to Santa Cruz, we have fresh soft breeze coming in from the ocean, and the sun has only clear rings around it. The guests pictured here (Jason & Victoria) are from Maryland have been enjoying hiking and whale watching for the last three days. Guests on Elkhorn Slough Safari saw sea otters, seals, sea lions and 40 different kinds of birds this morning. We certainly hope you come to visit and enjoy the coast.

Documentary

Our Inn's parlor became a filming studio for a few hours today. We have a film team from Germany Spiegel TV staying at the Inn all week. They are here preparing a documentary on the sinking of the airship USS Macon off the nearby coast of California. They needed to use the parlor for some interviews with local experts (from the local marine institute) who discovered and worked on the sea wreck. Yesterday they went to sea on the research vessel to learn how the wreck was located. Learn more by watching the program when it airs.

Honeymooners

It's June, and weddings are in the air. Honeymooners are always fun guests and we treat them with roses, fresh beverages,chocolates and spa soap sets. This couple came right from the wedding reception and were just bubbling with happiness and joy. it is one of my job benefits to be able to share in people's "happy times". Their good feelings and love lift up the entire household.

Sea Lion Party

We have the largest number of Calif. Sea Lions ever residing at Moss Landing in many, many years. It seems these mammals gather together before their summer move to the south, and this year they picked Moss Landing. Only a ten minute walk to the sea lion pull out, our guests have been entertained watching the sea lion behavior. The well over 1,000 animals include hundreds of cute young of the year who have their own spot on the South jetty.

Unbelievable Sunset in Moss Landing

This one is one where words can not surfice. This was our sky Wednesday night. It surrounded us with color. Seemed to go on forever. Guests were sitting on the decks, no one left for dinner. What a May treat!

Green Choices

We just returned from an industry tradeshow and our staff is very excited. At the Captain's Inn we are always trying to make good choices for the environment, like recycling and no phosphates and being well insulated and composting. At the trade show, our lead housekeeper discovered a series of cleaning agents made from botanicals. We have tried similar products but were very dissappointed with the cleanliness. The excitement came in when these new products actually get things as clean as more usual products!! These cost a bit more, but we will be stocking the green works from now on.

Humming Birds

One of the ways that we know it is spring here is our hummingbirds put on their aerial breeding display shows and start to nest. We captured this photo of Anna's Hummingbird chicks in their nest, right in the backyard. Other springtime treats, the yard is blooming with flowers and color! The beach has beach pea flowers and migrating birds abound.
