There's always just a little time in the classroom before we rig the Harbor 20s. My Santana Mariners Bag always comes with me. It's under the white board on the right in this photo.
My SMB was on La Terza Vita, with Mr. Breco
Some Mondays, you just need to get out and have some fun!
My SMB was at at Big Geiger on Catalina
On our Anchoring at Catalina Cruise, we set bow and stern anchors at Big Geiger. Rigo had his camera out...
My SMB was advertised in The Log
There it is!
My SMB was out for another day on Betty
As the Lidos rig in their lagoon, a Harbor 20 gets ready, and with a view of the Peterson designed Checkmate, I contemplate just exactly how we're going to back the 42' Betty out of the slip.
My SMB was circumnavigating Anacapa
One of the gems of the Northern Channel Islands is Anacapa.
My SMB was going California Cruising, with the School of Sailing and Seamanship
I really like this trip. Each year we depart the School of Sailing and Seamanship in Newport Beach for a 9 day voyage at the end of August. Leg 1 has us stopping at Catalina, Santa Barbara Island, Santa Cruz, and then Santa Barbara Harbor. Leg 2 takes us to San Miguel Island, Santa Cruz, Catalina, and then home to Newport Beach.
My SMB was sailing from Ventura to Santa Cruz & beyond for ASA 106
This lovely Beneteau 49 was the platform for an ASA 106 instructional cruise I led from Ventura, to Santa Cruz Island, to Catalina, and back. The night time COB recovery maneuver was cool with the bioluminescence in the water.
My SMB was On Basic Cruising 2 at OCC
The Catalina 42, Betty, is a great platform for teaching. Rigo and I have our bags below with the stuff we need for the day.
My SMB was at the Cabrillo Beach Anchorage on Catalina
My pick for the best anchorage on the north side of Catalina, is Cabrillo Beach. This anchorage is best in a moderate westerly when you can tuck in bow and stern, like we are here, right up under Little Gibraltar with your stern anchor right in front of the rock islet. Then, you can watch the whitecaps roll past the point while you lay snug in flat water. Time for a swim! Ask me about the Anchoring At Catalina Cruise.
