We have woken to a beautiful day in Oxnard. We will make a short sail to Santa Barbara today, only about 6 hours. We are staying at Santa Barbara Yacht Club for one night and then will shift to a municipal pier. The winds are not as strong and surf is only 1-3 feet, so we raised both the mizzen and staysail jib today.
After arriving, we all take showers and head out for dinner. We walked along the beachwalk to State Street and found a pub to have dinner. Found a beautiful old Moreton Fig Tree which is almost 150 years old (see picture below). We talked about the weather ahead and when things look best to tackle Point Conception. We were originally planning on spending one night at Coho Anchorage (which is just below Point Conception). We have decided to stay in Santa Barbara until the weather is the best for heading North. We will then head to Coho Anchorage, drop anchor, eat a good dinner, sleep for a few hours and then leave at 2am to make the 14 hour trip around Point Conception to Morro Bay.
