Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. This is episode number 362, which we are recording on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we're at the Yacht Harbor today. It's a beautiful

0:23.2

day in Santa Cruz and we did not want to be cooped up. So we just could not stand the thought of

1:46.7
