Little Sur

On Saturday, May 11th, we (Tim Cordrey and Robert Jones) competed in the annual around the bay race on "Little Sur", which started at the mile buoy in Monterey, went to mile buoy at Moss landing then mile at Santa Cruz then returned back to mile buoy at Monterey. The race started at 11 am and we finished at 6:00:40 pm. Upon rounding Monterey buoy we headed North.  We sailed throughout the night tacking back and forth off the coast into light North westerlies.  We arrived outside of Half moon bay around 7am the morning of the 12th, the wind went very light and headed thus causing us to spend the next 4-5 hours. tacking in and out off the coast, adding lots of miles, before we were released and able to continue North to pass mile rock at 3 pm the afternoon of the 12th.  From there we sailed into the bay and up to clipper marine, thus completing just over 152 nautical miles.  The boat was tied up in slip 431, where it currently lies until Friday the 24th.
