Enterprise on a very calm, hot August day on the Chesapeake.

How many people can you put on a C36?

I think I counted 23 onboard before they winched me up the mast.

We are anchored in 135' watching the Blue Angles.

It has been one of the nicest/warmest summers on record in Seattle.

Santa Cruz Island - Fry's Harbor

Beautiful Fry's Harbor taken from above the cove on the north side (front side) of Santa Cruz island - a C350 is astern of us in the anchorage. Evening downslope winds are the reason we are anchored bow-to-shore in this cove, typical of many coves on this island. This cove was the quarry of the rocks used for Santa Barbara harbor's breakwater in the 1925+/-.

Some history of this now-National Park:
