Sailing in 20 Knots of Wind From Santa Cruz Island to Santa Rosa Island on an Alberg 30

Season 7 : Episode #166 : Serious Sailing between Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands

Hello Friends,

On this weeks episode we start our day on the hook at Santa Cruz Island after a very rolly night in the anchorage of Morse Point.

We decided to do our first (non- emergency) sail off of anchor given there large open anchorage we were in and the good steady winds. We tied the first reef in the mainsail and Camille worked the boat towards the anchor, powering up the main then goin into irons so I could easily haul the the anchor as we would have if we had the motor on.

It went perfectly and was a lot of fun.

We instantly realized that we needed to tie our 2nd reef in as the boat was already over powered in the protected bay.

Once out into the channel we had a very lively and fun sail across the channel and tacking up the southern coast of Santa Rosa to the anchorage of Johnson’s Lee
