The sail to Paradise Cove was great, with just enough wind to move the boat right along. It was a bit much to try to get the main down and stowed singlehanded without lazy jacks, though. It wasn't pretty, but I got it done eventually and got anchored for the night. Virtually no wind the next day, so I had to motor to Cat Harbor with just the main up for stability. Other than that, a nice, warm, pleasant passage. The pictures pretty much tell the story. I shot and posted a few video bits this time, so let me know if you think it's worthwhile. I had some uploading issues out at anchor with a longer video segment entering Cat Harbor, but I'll try again, so check back.
Cruise to Cat Harbor: Part I
The Saturday night before I left Ventura, there was a TV crew out in the field next to the marina taping a segment of a reality show called "Bad Girls of Miami." Idiocy, but interesting to watch the process. I was able to sneak a few pics before I got caught.
