And now the Central Coast

Picked up anchor at Cojo around 0530. Got the anchor put away, secured the spin pole and headed out towards Conception. This am's unplanned event was to replace the nut that came off the alternator bracket (I think) that apparently worked itself off. Couldn't find the original in the motor oil sludge of the engine compartment (and we had pumped it whilst still in MX), but were able to find another that fit.

(if there's a spare fasteners kit, I don't know where it is, but would like to!)

Rounded Pt. Conception shortly before 0630 and are enroute to Pt. Arguello, and then the best part of the trip - the central California Coast.

20 knots of wind from the North (that's a surprise, I know ;-) with moderate seas.
Position at 0640:

34 28.500N 120 30.550W


Cheers,

Barry

Hey you all,
Glad to hear you are getting so close. This here have been rolling along well. Spring Keel at StFYC was great, but I sat on the sidelines with COnnor. Winds from 12 to 28, great competition, great party, bad green beer, etc.
I will be working on a race schedule this week (you probably wont want to see that boat for a while, though) and we are looking forward to getting back out there. Hoping Skip and Jody are crewmembers now! I see a Drakes party in the future.
Thank you all very much for making the trip home. Much appreciated.
Kevin
