7/6/06 - Sailing Channel Islands, Ventura, Oxnard


A week in, on or under the water

Adventures and Adventurers -

We - Chris Tucker, Tom - my son and Colin - Chris'son, spent a week sailing the BVI. Chris was our admiral, a title bestowed because of his vast sailing experience in the region, and guided our floatilla of six Sailtime/Sunsail boats through the region. He cleverly picked anchorages that were progressively more spectacular and dive spots that were alive with new-growth coral and spectacular fauna.

The trip was the culminating experience for the Sailtime crews as they completed the final requirements in the Novice to Captain program.

For more information about Sailing with us, call Capt. Dan at 805.750.7828

BJ just completed ASA 101 as did Richard and Robert.

BJ begins 103 today on Rainbow


Conditions this weekend:

Winds less than 20, usually sunny, though possible low clouds in A.M.
Beware: UV is at extreme levels. You probably need sunscreen indoors.

Local notes:
Shoaling is getting pretty severe N. of the Channel Islands N. Jetty. Buoys mark the general position, but we were very close to breaking water just outside of them. Give the area wide berth.

All Nav. lights are "watching properly" at Ventura according to the latest

Good sailing....
