 Can you spot Steadfast? (hint: low center)  The First-Mate Spies the Port Entrance Saturday, October 12th marked the end of Steadfast's week-long stay at Anacapa Isle Marina in Oxnard and the beginning of another adventure down the California coast. We cast off at 7:05 a.m., a reasonable hour considering our next stop was roughly 66 nautical miles away. Travelling at a rate of 6.5 knots we would make the Port of Long Beach in 10 hours. Plotting a course parallel to the shipping lane was the most direct route to the busiest port in the U.S...who would've guessed! After a day of container ship spotting, reading, eating and sight-seeing we pulled into Shoreline Marina by 5pm, just in time to check-in and get a gate key from the harbor office.

Thanks for the update Keith and the great pictures. I don't think I spotted your steadfast in the picture.
Sounds like you had a nice trip at the Californian coast, Keith. The pictures are great too. Leave a Reply. |
