[C38] Attn. West Coast sailors

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
    I would talk to several professional skippers. One who I have 
discussed this with says to keep one foot on the beach - go up close to 
shore because it gets a lot worse further out.  I would harbor hop up 
with a lot more stops than you have mentioned. Joe Launie/Macavity
