First Try at Point Conception Today
San Simeon, CA |
San Simeon, CA
Our try to go over night to San Simeon was not successful. We were about 20km outside Monterey when the winds kick up with the swells and wind waves. Vickie was down below when a big swell hit is from the back quarter and knock her to the floor. She was fine but I decided to turn in. Monterey was about 3-4 hours away.
We arrived at 23:30 quite tired. We tucked in and awoke to leave at 05:00.
The next day was very calm and we made good headway averaging 7kts. We arrived before sunset had dinner, some wine and discussed today’s plans.
Our plan is to go to Morro Bay, refuel, makes some repairs and assess the conditions at Point Conception. One projection has it calm. Another 10-20knts with gusts up to 25 knots 7′ swells at 13 secs. We plan to have an early dinner and then head out.
If anyone does not want to continue getting this, let me know and I’ll take you off the list.
