Sailing an Alberg 30 home from Ventura to Los Angeles after 5 weeks on the hard.
SEASON 6 / The Haul Out : Episode #133 : FINALE: The Passage Home
Hello Friends!
The Season Finale is FINALLY here!!! After 5 weeks on the hard we were finally able to take Triteia home !
The promised winds never arrived so we slept through the night after Camille’s best friend Andre arrived in from NYC to join us for the sail home and to spend Christmas with us.
Aeolus and Eos decided we should motorsail home and brought us light Southerlies at dawn. On the California Coast Northerly winds are dominate and blow with trade wind regularity. I had always thought that my reward for being north would be a lovely sail home down the coast. But when you are sailing with a timeframe you have to take what you get.
We had a lovely passage home and I was amazed that the boat now has ZERO prop walk!!! This was due to the new propeller. The old propeller having a chip out of it was off balance and if you let go of the tiller when you were under motor you would drive in a circle, I had always thought this was a byproduct of a full keel boat and was pleasantly shocked that now when you let go of the tiller you stray only slightly.
Andre was greeted by his first time seeing dolphins on the bow and I am so happy we captured it on video. There is nothing more amazing than the first time you see them up close playing.
We had a very calm and mellow passage home with a unreal sunset and a wild dolphin bioluminescent show after dark.
We made a special BEERS ON A BOAT episode with he full conversation Camille and Andre had about the Italian Digestif he made her for Christmas. You can see that episode here: https://youtu.be/dRZY-l1wMsU
