News:
Timoneer is at sea again, departing San Francisco 1000 Tuesday morning for the 466 mile trip to San Diego. The weather was overcast and hazy with the tops of the Golden Gate bridge towers obscured by fog. At sea level we had about 6 miles of visibility and light winds out of the South West. After exiting the San Francisco traffic scheme Timoneer motored through the evening in the light headwinds. By 0900 this morning the wind had picked up from the North, as we turned more Easterly to enter Santa Barbara Channel we rolled out the sails. At the moment we are sailing with the main and genoa making 9 knots, the wind is slowly dying as we get closer to Los Angeles.
