Beautiful is what I call the ocean going tug, M/V Pacific Falcon.
Beautiful are the hills around the Bacarra Resort.

Savannah is now re-commissioned after major MRO handling a 32 mile test run in 6 hours, 5.3 mph (4.8Kts) at 1600 RPM and 170F. The forecast called for strong wind but it was glassy all day long.
Jill caught a glimpse of Savannah retuning to the Harbor near the end of the test run. We (Iron Mike and I) ran up to the Bacarra resort at Elwood Beach and back on a glorious spring day. The oil in the water around Platform Holly made the water look like stained glass.

Sailing to weather in a fine breeze. The view is majestic from the mainsail boom.

Old Favorites Category: Had to lean way overboard to take this photo as we were nicely making way.


A pleasant stop at Channel Islands Harbor en route to Santa Barbara from Marina Del Rey in May, 2009 while the hills and mountains of Santa Barbara were in flames.
