We left Morro Bay after getting some breakfast at one of the waterfront eateries. We got a good breeze until we cleared the southern point of Morro Bay when it died to a few knots. We decided to head for San Miguel Island where the elephant seals have a colony. It's a tricky approach and would mean sailing thro the nite around point conception and arriving at the island the next afternoon.
Since I have my friend Christophe with me for this week we decided on a 4hr watch schedule. Since we had so little wind it made for some serious rolling. Everything on the boat was clanking squeaking and creaking. That combined with trying to pass the most dangerous point on the California coastline with the shipping lanes and the oil rigs made it very hard to relax.
Anyway we had no problems besides getting very little sleep and by the next afternoon we dropped anchor in Cuyler Harbor an San Miguel Island
Casting off from San Francisco, this is the blog of my 2010 voyage south in a Catalina 42 MKII.
