Savannah's route to San Diego for the Ancient Mariners Race sponsored by the blue nose San Diego Yacht Club.


Sailing from Channel Islands Harbor to the Isthmus of Catalina was sailing at as pleasant as it gets.

The wind was howling through the isthmus but 4th of July Cove was nicely sheltered.

 In early May, there are mooring cans available in great abundance. Not so in June.

Beautiful colors filter through the mist.
The island is full of life in spite of proximity to L. A.
(no offense intended)
A three master was found off Catalina.
Point Loma off San Diego must be approached with great reverence for massive kelp beds North West of the point. 

After rounding Pt Loma, a magnificent profile was reveled.
It seemed like Savannah gave the submarine a wide berth.
But that sentiment was not shared by the U.S. Navy
Stern first tie up at the San Diego Yacht Club.
After the race, Savannah claimed the most prestigious docking space that a humble proletarian could ever dream of
While, Savannah waited for good weather for the return up the coast, the SDYC parked her at a wonderful location with gorgeous view of San Diego harbor.

Savannah was docked next to the historic Newport Harbor Pavilion while her crew feasted like kings and queens at the restaurant within.
The Newport Harbor Pavilion is visible in the distance while Savannah applies for  the blessings of the innately hostile Newport Harbor Patrol.

Savannah was a gracious guest of PMYC (background) in Marina Del Rey on her way back up to coast.
Before departing Marina Del Rey, a wild storm came and went.
