Monday - San Miguel to Forney's, Santa Cruz Island

Jim pulled up the anchor, and along with it about 50' of slimy, gooey, green sea lettuce. It was blowing all over the deck! We unfurled the headsail and said our goodbyes to our favorite anchorage...



There was some wind outside, but made for a comfortable motorsail.
It was kind of sad to watch the island disappear behind us...





Time to look ahead to the next anchorage!! We saw wind up to about 25 knots along the front side of Santa Rosa and surfed up to 14 kts down the waves. We headed up into the wind to go into Becher's at Santa Rosa and saw wind up and over 35 kts! Forget this! So we fell off and headed over to Forney's at Santa Cruz where we hoped we would have less wind. We surfed across the channel in NO time! And were happy to get into less wind and out of the slop!
