Yacht Delivery Chronicles: Large Following Seas Taking us to Monterey

Season 5 Episode 101: Fort Bragg to Monterey, California

On this weeks episode we explore under the docks at Fort Bragg looking for otters and come across a large bin of dead urchins. After our smelly adventures we return to the boat, untie and push off at high tide.

We soon find ourselves in an active sea with wind waves left over from the blow that forced us into Fort Bragg. By mid-afternoon the seas had increased dramatically and the winds had stepped up to 20 knots with gusts of 30 knots. The NOAA buoy app showed the waves to be 10ft – 13ft. Running with them we regularly were surfing at 14 knots.

This continued into the night slowly stepping down and by morning we were pulling into a glassy Monterey Bay.

If this is the first Yacht Delivery Chronicles video you have seen heres a little bit of background of what this Season and miniseries is all about. This new season follows James and Camille on a delivery onboard a 74ft Power Yacht they were hired to crew on under then command of Captain Dave Stovall. The delivery which was planned for 9 days took 16 days due to failing boat systems and rough spring weather on the coast of the Pacific Northwest.
