So this is a reminder to double check your anchoring tackle. This boat was towed in today on the floats all the way from Santa Cruz Island. Seems the anchor chain separated from the anchor rode and they drifted into rocks in the middle of the night. I believe the boaters were rescued but the port side of this ship was completely destroyed. (at Ventura Harbor)

Raymarine autopilot is a go! Ready for the move to Marina Del Rey. (at Ventura Harbor)

"Survive your dream", yep that sounds good to me! This hydrovane is like an extra hand that never gets sleepy during watch and never complains. The Raymarine autotiller will be great for short runs, but this will really improve long distance crossings. (at Ventura Harbor)

One of the many benefits of a schooner is having an ideal place to tie up a hammock and chill. #schooner #junkrig #jaybenford #hammock #anniehill #maidentrip #captainlizclark #lauradekker (at Ventura Harbor)

There's nothing quite like waking up on a boat. The mornings can be so serene. #california #sailing #sailboat #chinesejunkrig #schooner #junkrig #anniehill #maidentrip #captainlizclark #lauradekker (at Ventura Harbor)
