That is more like it!
We have been trying for a while to go there, but the marine layer has been putting the airport below minimums.

It's a great place to visit, there is a good diner midfield but my preference is to park on the south end and either eat at the brewery or at Barbra's Fish Trap (cash only). There are a few other places there but I have not tried them yet.
