Eureka, CA
Left @ 7:15 am, Arrive @ 6:15 pm
Winds: S, 0 - 10 knots
Seas: 3 foot swell with 1 foot seas
Skies: fog
Distance: 65 miles
We motored all day today in little to no wind. It was foggy the whole way so we had to watch the radar for other craft. To make it more interesting there were a lot of crab/shrimp pot floats we had to watch for and then dodge.
When we arrived, Rich when up to check in. The office was closed but he did see Ponderosa. The last time we saw them was when we were entering Newport and they were just leaving.
If all goes well we will fuel up in the morning and continue south. We would like to get around Cape Mendecino, in the day light. The thought is we will either stop at Bodega Bay or go the whole way to San Francisco.
No worries,
SV Windarra
Re: the boater who couldn't start his motor. I thought that was what Sea Tow is for, not the US coast Guard
ReplyDeleteOn the west coast they call it, "Vessel Assist". I suspect the boater is new to all of this.
