Congratulations, shipmates
Local Adventures and Adventurers -
I was invited to accompany Rich and Lori Boren on their first cruise aboard Third Day, their Pearson ketch. Our mission was to move her from her former home in Santa Cruz harbor to their new mooring near Pismo Beach.
You'd think that would be a downhill joyride. Well, the hill was turned upside down that week and we had to power much of the way into brisk winds and - at least sometimes - pretty big seas.
Rich and Lori learned a lot about their boat and got a lot of practical navigation experience. But I'll use Rich's words to tell the story. It begins here and continues on my web page via a link.

Local Notice to Mariners
There has been no official notice, but dredging operations have begun in Channel Islands Harbor.
Yesterday, 3/16, the dredge was right on the shoal that currently blocks 1/2 the channel. They also had massive amounts of pipeline positioned just inside the breakwater. The Harbormaster had and may still have a boat stationed near by to direct traffic. Contact Dredge Morris or Channel Islands Harborpatrol on #16 for traffic advisories.
Dredging in Santa Barbar Harbor 2/28 to 4/15
