Calling all Hands!

photos from sailing from Santa Barbara to Ventura yesterday, 10 knots west wind. The day before was blowing Santa Ana winds, gusty from the opposite direction. Glad the weather changed.

Finally we are hauling the boat out of the water today in Ventura.  This is our first time and will be a huge factor in getting ready for the trip.

What we'll be doing-->  finishing the marine survey... painting the bottom and sides... sanding... more sanding...

How you can help-->   if you're in the area, come join us from Saturday through Wednesday (at least..!). Just call me at 805-259-8627. The boat will be hauled out at the Ventura Boatyard.

Why we need help-->
1) the trimaran is great, but it's like having 3 boats, so it's 3 times the work.
2) It's expensive to keep the boat out of the water, each day costs $126.
3) We'd like to finish by Thanksgiving to enjoy turkey dinner.

Keeping our fingers crossed all will work out, and stay within budget!
