Willard Bay to Bay of LA (islands)
Sunday Morning April 13 (morning services held with Turbo Ocho tunes, concluded with a rousing rendition of Manana) Back to Saturday and the 35kt winds… Crew went to shore for Double Headed cove here we come.. Pulled anchor with wind still gusting and set sail with Jib alone. Perfect timing, just as we unrolled the jib a big gust accelerated us to 7 knots. Big roller ahead when we clear the point east of us providing protection. Gonzaga Bay is huge sandy beach bay just south of Willard with homes and fishing camps. We’ve never Double headed cove has Winds laid down at sunset but we could still hear waves crashing on the beaches outside our peaceful anchorage. We had some dinner crashers hoping for some hand-outs.
. . . Very peaceful sunset with our protection headland providing a great visual as the sunset colors developed. 40 year old virgin on the big screen after a great dinner. Lots of surface activity as we retired for the night. Back to Sunday morning.. A quiet night in the anchorage allowed us to get a good nights Okay, the spinnakers up we’re hauling booty and now we have a hook-up on the fishing pole. Nothing to do but sock the spinnaker to slow us down so we can land it.. It’s a 20′ Sierra Mackerel for lunch. Spinnaker back up. 10:30: Winds are those typical morning breezes and drops to 10 forcing us to drop the spinnaker and motor sail to make progress down wind.. Looks like a 5 – 6 arrival time. Until the next update. Lowell for the Gato Loco Crew.
