| Season 2 | Episode 21 |
On this episode we pull up the hook at Cueva Valdez and head out for a easy 7 nm passage to Pelican Bay. As soon as I got out of the anchorage I saw a large fog bank that was quickly approaching and soon over took me.
After the fog passed I made my way into the anchorage of Pelican Bay which is a large half circle bay sounded by cliffs and very protected from the Northwest swell.
After a much needed dip in the bay I wasted no time getting out of the 55 degree water, got my stuff together and went ashore to explore. I was fortunate enough to see the Island Scrub Jay and the Island Fox, both of which only exist on the Channel Islands.
Pelican Bay turned out to be the most relaxing and comfortable anchorages of the trip by far!
The last week of 2017 I took an amazing solo sailing trip to the Channel Islands. I visit six anchorages on Santa Cruz Island before sailing for Catalina Island and tying up in Isthmus Cove for New Years Eve. We sailed back on New Years Day enjoying sunshine, great wind and thousands of dolphins.
While I was on my trip I started my first podcast and the first episode is up online now. The podcast is titled “A STERN VIEW” and is something of a cruising guide to anchorages and sailing destinations. Each episode is recorded on location and I cover everything I know about the anchorage from my research and experience at the anchorage.
I also kept a journal in my logbook and will be posting them as a blog with still photos. This will act as support to the A STERN VIEW podcast as will each new video episode that features the anchorage covered in the podcast episodes.
The journal and Podcast can be seen and heard here: http://svtriteia.com
My main go to guidebook for this trip was “Cruising Guide to Southern California’s Offshore Islands: With Sailing Directions for the Santa Barbara Channel’s Mainland Coast” by Brian Fagen which can be found here : http://amzn.to/2HOxAU1
