[C38] Attn. West Coast sailors

[Steve Smolinske]

Let me introduce Randy to the group, Randy has made the trip from SF to Seattle several times I loved the two stories about how the last wind reading they got was 50 knots before the wind instruments blew off the mast, or how the wind and waves made the Columbia Bar at Astoria during an incoming tide look like a walk in the park.  I'll let Randy answer the question rather than relay info:

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

	This summer during July/August I'm contemplating sailing our boat from Southern California North to Puget Sound- some 1450 miles.  The distance actually traveled could be twice the point to point distance due head winds.  My question to the Cat 38 group is, does anybody have experience making this trip?  Do you follow the coast putting into 3 or 4 ports, or sail westerly and make a right return?
	 
	Thank you for any advice,  Steve Orton (Santa Susanna- # 304)
