We motored around Cape Mendocino in absolutely flat calm water for many hours. The next day winds picked up to 30 knots out of the NW. We flew the stay sail all day and night. Next day as we were closing in on the coast ( we were out 86 miles ) the wind was still blowing 30 but in was foggy. Visibility was less then 1/2 mile most of the time so used our radar. We decided to anchor in Drakes bay on Monday the 3. As you can see by the photo the weather cleared as a very happy crew sailed under the Golden Gate bridge on the 4th of September.
