1:30pm Mark "Beautiful dolphin watching, including a pod of about thirty mamas and babies, each baby swimming right next to its mama. Wind has varied from 17 knots dead downwind to 15 on a close reach to dead calm/-currently motoring with the sails stowed. Two more skipjacks both on a cedar plug. We are now eating pesto pasta à la Lawrence just off UCSB."




2:30pm Mark:  Bummer. Santa Barbara said they have no room at the inn. We plan to anchor east of the marina/wharf for tonight.

But subsequently:  Lo talked them into giving us a non-standard space in the marina!  Woohoo!
