Delivery - Day #4

From Monterey on we were in fast water, making 6.6 kt on average the rest of the way to the Gate, making for a fast ride.

At 0549 we turned our final leg towards the entrance to San Francisco Bay, a full day ahead of schedule!

Our final day breakfast, a little bit of everything whipped up by Charlie and devoured by all:



Scott finishing his morning cup of coffee:



Another gorgeous day as we approach the Gate while motorsailing, trying to stay ahead of an inbound tanker:







Randy taking a quick snooze:







Once clear of the commercial traffic we killed the engines and took a quick tour of Alcatraz:





The storm we were watching was just moving in... Perfect timing!





This picture is notable because it's the first monohull, of many to come, that we overtook under sail :-)



Repairing damage to the Bay Bridge caused by the Cosco Busan:

All smiles as we approach the marina:





A final moment of fun as Randy tests out the davits, cleaning out the dingy which caught a few orange peels.



We were quite happy to have completed the voyage so quickly and without any issues. Thank you Charlie, Matt, and Randy - looking forward to the next opportunity to sail with you guys!
