News:
Timoneer arrived in San Diego safe and sound docking at Kona Kai Marina at 0835 this morning. The first day of the trip we covered a lot of ground so as the Northerly breeze filled in we were able to sail most of the night and into the early morning averaging 8-10kts. This morning 15 miles off the San Diego sea buoy we caught our first and only fish a 15lb Eastern Pacific Bonito. As we approached the channel into San Diego the fog thickened until we were completely shrouded in it. In the end there wasn’t much traffic and we crossed astern of the ship “Industrial Cape” on our way into the Kona Kai marina behind Shelter Island. Timoneer will remain in San Diego for the next two months carrying out maintenance work and do sail trials before heading to Baja Mexico after hurricane season.
