Hey California Montys!!! Join us the end of this month for a Thurs thru Sunday Channel Islands Harbor(Oxnard)/ Ventura Harbor/ and Anacapa Island sail. We'll be arriving on Wed night at Channel Islands harbor to join Capt Howie and his Socal Potters (which includes numerous Montys) for four days of sailing and friendship. We've made this trip the last two years in a row and it was a blast. Good sailing breezes both times. Our plan, tentative to weather conditions of course, is to sail up to Ventura Harbor on Thursday and overnight at Ventura Isle Marina returning on Friday. Sat morning those that are only making it a one day event will arrive and join in for the annual trek out and back to Anacapa Island. We'll overnight Sat night in Channel Islands Harbor and then pull out and pack up on Sunday morning. This year the dates fall over Labor Day Weekend. Bring the spouse! Lots of time for hanging out at the docks, cooking out on the boats, maybe dinner at the Whale's Tail where you can sail right up to the docks and eat overlooking your beautiful boat....like a real "yachtie" hahaha. Channel Islands Harbor has been the most small boat friendly place we've been. Ventura is beautiful, although, not quite as easy on the pocket book. You will need to have liability insurance on your boat (300,000) in order to secure a slip up there, but you really should have that anyway and it's not too expensive. The sail from CIH to Ventura is an easy 7 miles up the coast. The Anacapa Island daysail is about 11 to 12 miles each way. Last year conditions were calm enough that some boats dropped anchor and had lunch out there before returning. We've always had pretty good conditions at Anacapa but we have been assured that it can get "sporting" on the trip home sometimes. Consider joining us and the Socal Potters. At last months San Diego "kickback Cruise" we had three Montys attend and we had a blast. So.....ROLL CALL!!!! Who's gonna join us?????
