We are getting ready for our grand adventure. One of the focal points of the trip is to hang out and immerse ourselves in to the culture as well as getting a feel for the land. For that reason, we will be spending 7 weeks exploring the California coast. There are two difficult portions of a southern run to LA. The first is around Big Sur with a 100+ mile run from Monterey to Moro Bay. Big winds and seas are common in this area. The second is around Pt. Conception. Anything can happen here with sudden storms and big currents. AKA the Cape Horn of California. We plan to sail thru at midnight when it should be calm.
About 10 years ago, a sailor headed south from the Bay Area and documented his adventure in fine form. If you have a desire to head south, start here for a comprehensive look at all the anchorages as well as travel tips that will keep you safe. It's a fascinating look at how cool the cruising scene is in Cali. For more info, go
