A weather window has allowed PUP list administrator Scott Bulger, Captain Mike, and another to finally leave Dana Point aboard Scott's newly acquired, very lightly used (100 hours), 2005 Nordhavn 40 Mark II, Alanui. They spent last night in Santa Barbara, departing this morning at 7 am. 12 noon found them off of dreaded Point Conception with 5' white caps and a 20 knot NW wind. They had to detour into Coho Bay to tighten dinghy tie-downs. At 2:45 they were off of Point Arguello enjoying a 1' chop on top of 3' swells. This evening will be spent in Half Moon Bay near San Francisco. They have been traveling at half-load at 7.1 knots. The trip will end at the home port of Seattle, Washington. Chris Byer No. Hollywood
