I think most of us made the right decision not to Rendezvous. Did you and Nancy go Sven?
My brother and I went out for a day sail Saturday. 7-8 foot swells with white caps starting up around 11:00 am.
We got about 2.5 miles past the Angeles Gate and I could see my Brother was not feeling well. When he started chumming I decided to take him for a harbor cruise back into Wilmington to the Chowder Barge. His stomach settled down as soon as we got back inside the break wall.
On Sunday we did some sight seeing around P. Fermin and it was blowing like stink. Easy 30+ knots, lots of white caps and breaking rollers as far as the eye could see. I saw 3 sailboats hauling ass, probably racers coming back from the Island.
I talked to my Radar tech this morning and he told me that there was a single handers round the Island race over the weekend and that one boat came back with no one onboard and ran aground off the coast of Venice Beach
I am glad I wasn't sailing back from the Island in that Gale tester day. Here's the news:
