Make way for L.B. Baby!

Can you spot Steadfast? (hint: low center)

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.

Have to say, that the visual look of your blog is one of the best out of the sailing blogs, I have seen. It's also cool, that all the family members have their own corners on the site.
