HAILED by the USCG & Exploring A Very Small Anchorage in a 30ft Sailboat

Season 7 : Episode #172 : Exploring the Magic of Potato Harbor and Speaking with the USCG

Hello Friends,

On this weeks episode we sail off of anchor departing Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz Island with a light morning breeze and point for Little Scorpion to meet up with John Conway of SV Felurian.

John and Alanna have started their own Youtube Channel and we encourage everyone to check out their episodes and subscribe : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS9CLW7y5LqPQkvCyZp5I8w

On our way to Little Scorpion we decided to pop into the very small anchorage of Potato Harbor to have a look and decide to drop a lunch hook and explore this beautiful little anchorage.

While we were in the water the USCG hailed us on the VHF and John, heading to meet us, responded to their call and let them know we were safe and sound and where we were. A fisherman had recovered our adrift dinghy off of Sandy Point on Santa Rosa Island so the USCG had deployed its assists to look for us.

Since we believed our dinghy never left the horseshoe bay of San Miguel we never even considered reporting it missing to the USCG. This was an important lesson to us and now we know to always report a dinghy missing if it is lost either at anchor or under tow.

Thanks again to the United States Coast Guard for keeping all of us mariners safe!

After our chat with the Coast Guard Cutter we made our way to Little Scorpion and rendezvoused with SV Felurian.
