Hi John,
I've sailed out of Monterey Bay for over 20 years now, and what you have
in mind is a great idea. When I lived on my boat in Moss Landing
(Challenger 32), and worked at the Monterey Airport, I used to sail down to
Monterey and tie up at the Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club for 48 hours (with
club reciprocals), then moved into a slip assigned by the Harbormaster for
the next 5 days or so. They are very accommodating in finding you a slip,
even for only 1 night. Give it a try, you'll have fun, meet friendly local
boaters, and save $$ in the process.
Have fun!
