Upwind for today's Coastal Cup entries. No show by Catapult (ex-Pyewacket) and Bueno Sera. Any Goss?
SoCal 300 Wx looks good.

Catapult appears to be heading south, but is shown as retired.

Did a lap around the inside of the So Cal 300 course yesterday. Breeze came up very late (4:30 pm) outside Santa Cruz Island. Died relatively early (10:30 pm) coming back in from between San Nicholas and West end of Catalina.

It is slow. As usual, I’m watching for them to sail by the cabin in Big Sur, but it is going to be a while yet. Usually they scream by here. The Windy forecast for tonight looks bleak out there. Wind on Wednesday, though!

Catapult is showing up!
Reineag 2 is transiting Bagel Bay on her way to Santa Barbara.

Looks like Oaxaca and Westerly have caught up with Artemis who is way more outside. I can barely see them.

Looks like Oaxaca and Westerly have caught up with Artemis, which has sailed far offshore. I can barely see them.

Far offshore!

Looks like Oaxaca is motoring. It is glassy out there as the sun sets.

Yep. The table shows them retired but the map doesn't.

Super light it seems. Westerly at 3.1 knots. Artemis at 8.1. Abigail Morgan putting it to the big boys right now.

Ouch, Artemis only 78 NM in 21 hours.

4 boats are going to get a show when SpaceX lights one off tonight about 11. Three mile safety zone so wide rounding of the point or the launch gets cancelled. Heh. Only Starlink….

Westerly probably had a really good show! I had a great show in South Bagel Bay.
Too bad the Rocket and Musk didn’t blow up on launch.

After a punishing Coastal Cup the last stage of the California Offshore Race week looks pretty nice. Breeze on for legs one and two and early into leg three with the usual lightening into SD. But, not a total shut off (touch wood). A nice onshore flow should give the teams a decent work out.
25 hours or so for a SC 70, 28 hours or so for a J-125. Not too bad at all.
If you want to race from home check out www.sailonline.org and race an SC 52.

Tons of sea life on the race track. We saw plenty of the regular stuff (dolphins, a whale, velella) as well as a bunch of sunfish, and even a deceased oarfish!
