S/V INTREPID II - Cape Dory Intrepid 40

My photo
Intrepid II is a Cape Dory Intrepid 40 sailboat, hull #2, designed by Chuck Paine and discovered by the Captain in Blue Hill Maine in 2006. The crew are Kelly (Captain) and Carol (Admiral and Blogger). In 2009 INTREPID II embarked on her West Coast journey from Victoria to San Francisco, the Baja Sur Peninsula and into the Sea of Cortez. In 2010/2011, we sailed from Guaymas, south to Bahia Banderas and back. In 2011/2012 we left Guaymas, headed south to La Paz, spent three weeks at anchor on our northward journey and rested on the hard in San Carlos. Her 4th, 5th and 6th seasons were Boat Projects related. Season 7 - an incredible amount of boat work - but no cruising. Season 8 - Tropical Storm Sergio toppled Intrepid II in San Carlos dry storage. A disappointing season of serious and costly repairs. Season 9 - continuing those repairs and still hopeful for cruising.

Photos Recap: Monterey to Santa Barbara

Apologies for the topsy-turvey nature of our postings and photos - this is catch-up time again - starting with our time in Monterey:
Bookends - Pelicans in Monterey Bay
Reminder to re-read Steinbeck's Cannery Row
Sight that makes an overnight passage worthwhile
Still in our foul weather gear 
Damp and cold - but still smiling
The dreaded Point Concepcion - very benign passage for INTREPID II


Oil platforms dot the way into Santa Barbara harbor
