Bay Cruise 2025: 9/9 - 9/15

The Man went around Point Conception, the Cape Horn of the Pacific, in the early hours of Tuesday morning. "Very early", he said, "I left at midnight".

I think he said it wasn't "too bad" though I'm not sure what he's comparing it to especially since this was his journey to Coho Anchorage.

 

 

Finally, Coho Anchorage in sight.

Bay Cruise 2025: 9/8

The Man had been planning a journey. When I asked him where he was going he said, "North".

Although he enjoys fishing and cruising the Channel Islands he was ready for more.

 

Albert's, Santa Cruz Island 8/8/25

 

He headed down to Ventura on Friday, September 5th to wait on the weather.

September 8, 2025

0615: I watched The Man and Nell leave Ventura Harbor on the Ventura Port Webcam. He said the ocean was "bumpy". Next stop Santa Barbara, eta 0915.

 0918: Santa Barbara, fuel stop.

 

 Entering Santa Barbara Channel (Surfline live Webcam).

 

 

First night anchored at Coho Anchorage. The plan is to go around Point Conception in the wee hours of the morning (between 0200-0400) when the seas and winds are calmer.

 

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum: 

"Pt. Conception is a headland along the coast of southwestern Santa Barbara County. It is the point on the coast where the warmer waters of the Santa Barbara Channel meet the Pacific Ocean, and it forms the corner between the mostly north-south portion of the coast to the north and the east-west part of the coast near Santa Barbara. It is also a place where strong currents converge, cause dangerous turbulence in a rocky area, and make sailing so hazardous that it has been called the Cape Horn of the Pacific and the Graveyard of the Pacific. Because of the dangerous weather, wind, and water conditions, which resulted in hundreds of shipwrecks, Pt. Conception was selected in 1852 as the site of one of the first seven lighthouses to be built in California."
