Out on our special limited load adventure with plans to ply the far southern waters for 15 days. Actually, in this case, we took the extraordinary step of extending the voyage by one day on the front end. Our original scheduled departure on Thur the 1st didn't look good. As such, in an effort to beat the southerly storm, we took off early enjoying a GREASE calm ride all day to the unspeakable delight of all. Freighting a fantastic load of sardines we will head south and tuck into the coast for a night tomorrow allowing the worst of the torment to pass in flat calm safety and comfort before moving on. I have plenty to share as the trip unfolds so stay tuned. First photo of the voyage features tonight's feast of fresh California Spiny Lobster courtesy of our local fisherman friends.
