World's Longest Running Event in Moss Landing

On it's way around the globe through seventy countries and seven continents, the World Harmony Run came to Moss Landing today! It is the longest running event in history with millions of runners carrying the torch for harmony over 25,000 miles. The non-profit run calls attention to wishes for harmony, peace and tolerance throughout the world. To support the run, the Captain's Inn provided the women's team with rooms for the night. The torch was carried right past the front of Captain's Inn and, was even carried by the innkeeper and dog Tara( for short ways). When taking the torch, you get to make a wish; innkeeper wished for a better world for todays' children. The group of international women runners were a joy to host. If you want more information, wish to run with the torch, or to give them support try worldharmonyrun.org.

Harbor Seals of History

The Captain's Inn has quite a historical past; shipping company office, farm family residence, church, student housing, and now a bed and breakfast. A story we had heard several times is that a harbor seal used to live here in the buidling. The story always included that the seal used the staricase to reach the family tub upstairs. Well, we finally have proof that the Captain's Inn was home to a local harbor seal who did indeed enjoy the tub! The York family, who founded the Harbor Chapel in Moss Landing and used our building for a church, recently shared this 1959 photograph from their personal scrapbook. "Scottie" is the mom and pastor's wife. The Harbor Chapel is now just a short distance from here. The harbor seal tub was where our chart room is now. (Sorry, there are no real seals for today's guest tubs).
