We spent a big part of the morning scrubbing up the ship. At about 3:30 in the afternoon we got under way, and sailed out of the Golden Gate in column, sorry indeed to be leaving a port where we had had such a splendid time. Only one thing made us willing to leave - it was the beginning of our homeward trip. Out next stop was to be Los Angeles - or rather San Pedro, its sea port. The night - as usual - was foggy and cold when I turned in.
