  • Season 4 | Episode 63 | Sailing home to Los Angeles
    On this episode we say farewell to Cat Harbor. Its time to get back to real life so we drop the mooring line and point out to sea. Motorsailing through the rolling swells as we enjoy the beautiful cliffs of Catalina Island. Passing "Ribbon Rock" then the iconic "Eagle Rock" we made our way past the West End and soon we were under sail alone.
    The sun came out and we sailed wing and wing on what little breeze we had. Smiling all the while.
    We had a lovely quiet sail home with the only excitement being refueling at sea in the dark as I didn't want to risk running out of fuel near Angels Gate Lighthouse.
    Just like that another amazing trip is in the books. We visited a new Island and stayed at two new anchorages I had never been to. I always want to visit new places when I sail if at all possible so I was very happy with how I trip turned out.
    Lots of firsts for Camille on this trip, Her first time sleeping on a boat, her first long sailing passage, her first anchoring experiences and her first time snorkeling.
    Lots more to come... Our next set of adventure videos will be of a trip Camille, Mr. Steady (Her blue heeler) and myself took to Catalina for New Years Eve.
    Thanks again to all of our Patrons!!!!
    Until Next Week,
    James & Camille & SV Triteia

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks! We have only taken Triteia as far North as Santa Cruz Island (Near Santa Barbara) I have sailed in SF on other boats several times and did a delivery from San Diego to SF in 2015. Next Spring we will do a cruising season in Mexico then after that we are talking about sailing to Hawaii then up to Alaska, Pacific Northwest and down the coast. We are actually on a yacht delivery at this very moment talking a power yacht from Seattle to LA (in Astoria now)

      @@SailorJames Wow, such a nice opportunity on a yacht delivery. Must be a nice boat! Thanks for sharing your plans (dreams)! San Francisco are one of my all time favorite cities (I'm from Portland, Maine) and I was in SF bay on my cousin's Arlberg 37 recently, amazing boat, I was right at home on it and so stable and seaworthy. I grew up on boats and I plan on sailing the world once I retire from teaching. You probably know this, my understanding is that the Arlberg 30 was designed for SF waters. I don't know the full story but Arlbergs are one of my favorite sailboats. Good thing you were patient until you found one. I look forward to watching more videos. Keep up the good work!

    I've been enjoying the channel. After all the years of watching people sail to Tahiti, it's fun to watch you two sail in my local waters. Just because I'm curious, what's the significance of the 55/65 in the channel' logo?

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  Před 5 lety

      Right? Adventure is within reach on any budget. We hope to visit as many of the anchorages on Catalina and all the Channel Islands before we head south next year. The 55 in my logo is my boats hull number and the 65 is the year it was made.

    Hey brother- another great Vid 🙌🙌. One quick rule I have on short jumps- I top off all Fuel at rest (anchor, marina, slip, or mooring) before getting under way. Reason is that I sail the Gulf of Mexico- and it can be perfect conditions one moment- and then I am gunning it to get the hell away FROM or OUT OF the squall on my a$$... Topping off, and checking/bleeding the Racors for water 💦 is just apart of my process of elimination... Hope this was helpful man- see you soon out there... 🤘. Skipper T
