Another Top YouTuber Says Goodbye

La Vagabond to Sell Boat and Move On

I have been following this channel since the beginning. These guys have seen it all and done it all since 2018. They became the top sailing Youtube channel and made millions from their videos. Now they have two boys who need the stability of land as they grow older. I don't think we have seen the last of them as they transition to sustainable living at some tropical location with a much more humble boat at the dock waiting for them. Bon voyage!

Forecasts For SF Bay Are Not Accurate

The NOAA releases forcasts for the day and the coming days. In the winter, most of the forecasts are usually 5-10. Here is this weekends forcast:

Today was the same, 5-10. I got out on the bay about 11am. By the time I got to Treasure, it was 20. As I approached Angel it was gusting to 27. I got behind the island and the waves deminished but the wind was nice at 15. This same thing happened the three other days I sailed this week, but not as strong. I do sail in the windiest part of the bay and I believe the Tule Fog in the Central Valley is making a huge difference in the winds this winter. For the first time ever, we have had a serious blanket of fog from Fresno to Redding. A distance of over 300 miles of dense fog. The fog has been there for 8 weeks or more. Most winters, a good day is 10 knots of wind. This winter it has been more like 15-20 most days. Not that I am complaining. I am just glad I still go out when the forecast is 5-10. Today was epic!
