We arrived back safely in Marina Del Rey Monday, September 8th, at 9:00a.m. and scrambled to settle her in so we could get to the airport, (Joe), get to our own boat, (Aleks), and get to work, (Cecile). The leg from Santa Barbara to Marina Del Rey included some rain from the tropical storm further south–the sies were dark with clouds particularly toward the mountains north of Los Angeles. This trip included so much unusual weather and sea conditions.

Further inspection of Aeriagnie revealed that nothing had broken and there wasn’t any chafe! That along with no one getting hurt makes this one good successful trip! We are glad to be back and look forward to sharing pictures and stories! Aleks and Cecile are putting together a presentation about the gale and the boat and the sailing through that weather. We will post the date!

Now, for the next trip….
