Any Southern Californians?

[Skipper Dave]

I know this site is new just wondering if any near me.  Our stomping grounds (Seas) are Catalina island, Santa Monica Bay, The Channel islands.  One of our favorite day trips is to sail down to Redondo, tie up at King Harbor Yacht Club, have lunch at Joe's Crab Shack and visit with Bob and Jody if they are in town.  The Lost Soul is completely refitted, looks like new.

Zen,

I have never sailed S.F. but hav heard if you can sail there you can sail anywhere.  True?  I have been told similar about the channel islands.  There were a few times when we were up there that I turned around after a couple miles out.  Much different in Marina Del Rey a lot smoother easier sailing.

Skipper;

"I have never sailed S.F. but hav heard if you can sail there you can sail anywhere.  True?"


I'll be able to answer that After I have sailed eveywhere 

The fact is , that maybe very well be true. We have a lot of changing conditions on the Bay. However I have only sailed it a few times, I generally sail up closer to the delta. Which is much smoother most times.

" Much different in Marina Del Rey a lot smoother easier sailing."

I have been on a S/V out of Marina Del Ray and it was a smooth ride for the most part.

I've been to California twice - both times to the SF area IF I go back that way, I would like to see Southern CA.  TOOOO many up tight people around the Bay

Wife and I were just talking last night about maybe a week long trip up to the Channel Islands this summer.  Take five days and just sail around Santa Cruz island stopping in our favorite anchorages.  Gotta get my windlass installed  I hate pulling up that anchor early in the morning before my coffee.
