Most of the day will be spent preparing for our assault on Point Conception. We have to load up on the food as we may not be able to get to a grocery store on the way up north.

| Oh no, I think we bought out the store! |
 |
| Good thing they have carts for us to transport the groceries as it is a 7 minute walk to the boat. |
Some of us went to the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum just off the docks. Inside they had the original lighthouse light beacon. This beacon used no electricity and used manpower to rotate it. It was used from the mid 1800's to the 1920's. We also learned that in the 1920's seven US Naval Destroyers were shipwrecked in the Santa Barbara Channel. They were part of a group of 14 destroyer group. They also had an area dedicated to surfing since that was big here in the 50's and 60's, and later.
