Pacific
I grew up sailing with my family in New England,mostly on Long Island Sound. We owned 3 different sail boats from 22’ to 39’. I learned the basics of sailing and became very “comfortable” on boats. At 20 I moved to Colorado and no more sailing. In 2018 I started sailing again. In 2020 I started racing. In 2022 we bought our cruising boat.

Willows Anchorage to Scorpion Anchorage, United States
Short motor to what we hoped would be a better anchorage. It was, marginally. Much more spectacular, small beach but no hiking. Set stern anchor which helped, but still a lot of motion.

Valley Anchorage to Willows Anchorage, United States
Fun Sailing, downwind angles all the way. 12-15 with times of 20-25. Various reefs during the day. Wind completely shut off in the lee of Santa Cruz Island. Anchorage we were planning for had 2 boats already and 3 would be tight, moved on. Will go back there tomorrow.
