wind conditions and sailed down to Half Moon Bay.  I picked up crew there and immediately got under way.  Weather wasn't bad but not really good..about 6' swells and 25 knot winds....crew got sick and spend the next 24 hours puke'n
...you know ... head in the head ...sailing into 180 scattered winds with the wind vane going nuttts...... and the crew horizontal.......me  on the tiller.,..pulled into Santa cruz and rested up a bit before the run to Monterey ... Parked in Monterey for last 3 days...waiting out gale winds south of us.....

Hey Jim,

Here is a quote for you. "Between the sky and the water I am not alone, because I live with the sea and the gale." by Jean Gau

I Wish I was with you. I bet I can puke just as long as your friend can ;D :o ::).

Fair winds and full sails.
