Photos From Californian

19 Aug 2008

We have some photos to share with you, taken by Kevin Carothers, crewman aboard Californian. These give a brief glimpse of life aboard, and sailing offshore.

Kevin is crewing on the Coast Guard's Eagle today, heading to San Diego. We hope to post further images from his Eagle voyage soon.

Kevin's Pictures

Kevin has a new camera and he sent in some great images, crossing under the Golden Gate Bridge and sailing in the Bay. He also sent images of our crew and some of the other ships in the Festival Fleet. Thanks Kevin!

Adventures at Sea

Well its billed as an Adventure Sail.  Yup, they mean it.  Californian's adventures continue. 

 

After breaking a jib boom in SF and repairing it in the location of that fair city and surrounding environs (thanks due to so, so many as well as accolades to our captain, crew and emergency delivered museum maintenance folks), she headed south with a package of 10 passengers all brave and true.  Did OK till the weather hit.  Gale force winds and 12 foot following seas.  Vessel was making 9 knots under double reefed main, reefed fore and staysail.  Capt McGohey put into Monterey to wait out the weather.

 

They got underway from Monterey on Monday, 4Aug.  Last reported  that  good progress was being made with anticipated arrival in Channel Islands Harbor early on 6 Aug.  Ship and compliment will discharge their stalwart passengers there, swap out some crew and on 7 Aug begin to participate in the CHI Festival of Sail from Aug 7 - 11. 

 

After that...  Quien Sabe?  Its been an adventure so far, why stop now?
