Rough Seas

I was able to reach Rog this morning as he was coming into Santa Barbara Harbor around 8am. The plan was to take on all the fuel possible, not more than the 155 gals in fuel tanks and jerry cans we know we have on board. As you may recall we needed 160 gals of fuel to fill up in Turtle Bay. A nice hot breakfast may be on the schedule too!! Then it is back out to sea before the next storm hits the coast.

The seas will be 6 to 8 ft over the next 24 hours but they will be 14 secs apart, so the ride will be ok. What is lurking out there if they do not get here by Sat mid day are 14 to 19ft seas!! Now that would not be comfortable. With that in mind Rog is trying to make 7 knts coming up the coast into fairly strong winds and lumpy seas around mid day Friday. I will update again tomorrow to let you know how the progress is coming
