This year, The Sea of Anarchy Yacht Club had two boats entered in the
Coastal Cup, La Adriana and Merilon
Due to construction in Santa Barbara Harbor, this year's destination was
changed to Ventura Yacht Club
On La Adriana, Dudley and Elise were ready
to go. The gear was stowed in the after cabin. The crew
piled into La Adriana, and Elise drove to the line as
Lisa showed Teresa the ropes. We passed a tallship
at anchor, the bellows of the crew in the rigging amusing Lisa and Teresa.
Things started out well with a good start and 24 hours of superb sailing. Then the
wind died. After about 18 hours of no wind, while sitting in thick fog, and hearing
a fog horn nearing, we decided that the prudent thing was to start the motor and get
out of there. So, we changed our course to Monterey, where
Lane was able to go up the mast to untangle the burgees.
The crew found its appetite at a waterfront pub and did some
sight seeing.
We timed out return to SF Bay to coincide with the arrival of the tall ships. It seemed as if everybody was there. We ran
into Nakia and they snapped the following pictures:
Return to Port.
