good morning

we have been up since 5 30 this morning

getting ready to

leave because it's time it was fun here

in fort bragg

but i want to get further south so this

teal we're all anxious to

start sailing again and

you know we're tired of the fog we're

tired of the fog

yes we are very tired of the fog but it

was really nice here we really enjoyed

our time

and the day that we're leaving just

happens to be opening season the salmon

fishing so that is um

a lot of traffic out here right now with

little boats small boats charter boats

it'll be fun yeah it should be fun so we

have a 90 mile

trip uh for today and we hope

we hope that it's gonna be in daylight

hours

but it's okay we're heading to bodega

bay it should be fun

so excited to be back out of the water

because the positions are looking good

yeah sea state's good should be light

wind again but picking up in the

afternoon but

i plan on us hoisting both sails out

and take advantage and take advantage of

it there's only one more point that we

have to get around this point arena

yep and then after that we'll declare

are you ready ready i'm always ready

[Music]

my dad and i have not caught a fish

since crescent city we've been trying

every day at the mouth of the noyo river

but we catch nothing but kelp

so we're trying to fish out here in the

entrance to the noyo river

and look at this just kelp covering the

entire entrance

it's crazy a little lumpy out here let's

go inside a little okay

so we're putting a hand line and two

poles in the water

because i gotta catch a fish you better

you guys know that i love fresh seafood

more than anything

and after emma caught that black

rockfish in crescent city

i've been hooked so they have been

trying teal and her

have been putting out lines every single

time we're under passage

and they've been skunked every single

time they have not

yet pulled a tuna in and when we were in

humboldt bay

emma tried her darndest i mean she got

up first thing in the morning and she

would go for live bait so then they can

go

and and catch some california hell of it

in the bay

we're gonna go catch a california

halibut

we have been fishing for two whole hours

and oh man

even if we don't catch anything we're

still having a lot of fun

but i still hope we catch something

but you know she got a couple nibbles

and she fought for some but they just

never landed so on this passage since

we didn't get any fish we noticed that

there was

a tuna fish that was right behind us so

obviously i had to go out there and

check to see what they had

and they had fresh albacore tuna

there is nothing better than that along

this coast

okay thanks for the fish guys all right

fb defiance baby

and it looked like for us it just didn't

work out because

we were just 10 15 miles offshore

and these guys said that they were

catching them between 40 and

70 miles off shore so i'm

i don't care because we got some fish

and if we can't catch it

it's nice to support the local fishermen

and bonus while the guys were filling

our tuna the seals and sea lions were

putting on quite a show for us

[Applause]

just like a cow

so for today we're just going to do a

quick easy sear

on the tuna and then i'm going to use

all the remnants to make a little poke

salad on the side

and we're just going to grill some

romaine and put an asian

dressing on it

[Music]

okay this looks delicious let's dig in

everyone

yeah thank you

try the tuna man this looks amazing i

really gotta

like catch one of these you better

oh my god so fresh

i am so excited i can smell bacon right

now

and yeah

constantly cooking for this crew

bacon and eggs

[Music]

uh

[Music]

well we've been searching for that wind

all morning

hasn't shown up yet but we're just

drifting along

uh not making any speed records today

but we're getting there we're off of uh

point arena right now

so we're about 35 37 miles

into this trip and about 55 miles to go

looks like we'll hit bodega bay at about

10 11 o'clock tonight unless this wind

picks up

so we're hoping for

finally we're getting some sunshine so

that we can do some exploring and not be

socked in fog i thought it'd be fun to

take about a two mile walk down to hair

beach

and have a picnic

[Music]

you ready am yeah meanwhile emma's still

picking blackberries along the way

[Music]

there's steel trying to scout out a

warmer spot

freezing here don't be fooled it's sunny

but it's still cold

[Music]

hey guys lunch is ready here's to a

beautiful day

gorgeous passage and our own private

beach

[Music]

it was cheers relaxing at the beach i

know it's so

weird right so much setup

breakdown the sun the wind let's get

back to the boat relax

[Music]

so it was nice as soon as we got around

arena here

the wind picked up we have about

10 to 12 knots of wind and we're doing

about

a little over six knots

so this is much more comfortable

still not going to make it before dark

it looks like but

that happens

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

so

[Music]

okay we came in late last night landed

in bodega bay around

well it was exactly 10 o'clock had a

full moon

it's actually a what a nice run

just like the last couple runs we've had

it's been light and variable winds for

the first half of the day

and then as soon as we hit a cape or a

point and and head around it

the winds pick up in the afternoon we

were hitting

15 to 25 knots of wind for the second

half of the day

and it was a it was a speed run for us

we made some good time

we were averaging after point arena

about seven plus knots we actually

tapped

deep into the tens a few times so it was

exciting

we did have a little incident though you

know we

had to motor sail the first half of the

day

and we developed a little vibration in

the port engine

so we shut that engine down and

just right as we were shutting it down

the wind was picking up so it was no big

deal

i went down there about an hour later

and the water pump

had blown a bearing

so water came in luckily we shut it down

fast enough

so we ended up sailing all the way into

the bay last night we didn't go in

inside the harbor here the breakwater's

right over here

we sailed right into this beautiful

anchorage dropped a hook

there was probably 25 fishing boats

maybe a few more here

that we were anchored all around they've

all since uh picked up and they're

heading out

a little foggy this morning but it's

supposed to clear off

i'm gonna change out the water pump this

morning

then we'll head in to the harbor

i won't do that all before noon it's

supposed to be a bit blustery again this

afternoon so

be nice to get all that done as fast i

can but here we are

a little further south

thanks for watching this week's episode

of onboard lifestyle

while we're underway
