NEW (Feb 2008) The Morro Bay Solo Sailor Blog by past-Mayor of Morro Bay and solo sailor Bill Yates. Bill says "This blog is not about, oddly enough, solo sailing. It's about my views on Morro Bay and its political scene. It's named Solo Sailor because I'm, well, a solo sailor." [Editor note: Every Morro Bay resident interested in our local government will find Bill's Blog entertaining, and thought-provoking. Read about Bill Yates' past solo-sails in our Morsels section] *****
