Join your fellow SEA members for a great overnight trip negotiating the shipping channel, avoiding the south channel then steering clear of the reefs north of Half Moon Bay. This is a great trip to test your sea legs. Please make sure you sign up for our navigation planner session so you can review charts and safety procedures with our skippers. The trip will take you out past the main shipping channel, usually a left at buoy number two. It is not advised to cut corners but there have been more then a few boats lost in the "South Channel". Please read SEA's Offshore Checklistabout the nonexistent south channel. A leisurely downwind leg (ha!) takes you past Pt. San Pedro, Devil's Slide, Pt. Montara, then Colorado Reef before you duck in past Pillar Point. Not too close though, watch out for the outer breaker reefs, Maverick's and the inner reefs as well. Catch up on all the details at our next navigation planner. Enjoy the trip!

Summer Solstice sailed on a sunny Saturday, November 12 to Richmond Inner Harbor with skipper John Paul Watts and a crew of five. Light winds prevailed, but the big genoa captured all the air had to offer, and by early afternoon we had navigated the hook-shaped approach and entered the Turning Basin.

As we had learned at our navigation planner session earlier in the week, the approach has several legs, each with its own name on the chart. Unlike the cargo ships whose draft would prevent such a shortcut, we took advantage of the relatively high tide and sailed directly across the Southampton Shoal Channel over to Point Potrero Reach, without going "up and around" where the deepest water lies.
