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?
