Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 19 Trip to Santa Cruz Island

Play

I deviate a lot in this podcast and I talk about a recent sailing trip from Ventura California out to Santa Cruz Island in April 2013. I also discuss how to free and anchor when you snag another line.

The photos at the website are integral to this podcast

This was the first time that I took US HWY 6 across Nevada and it was an enchanting drive.  I have included a lot of the photos in the time line of the trip beginning in Ventura and then the drive back to Salt lake.

I would enjoy hearing comments as if you enjoyed this deviation from strictly sailing in the Mediterranean, or not
