Day 2
September 27, 2008
We made our way out the Golden Gate and right into the fog - cold, gray and a big Pacific swell. Heading south, we split into two 4-hour watches and made an average of about 4 knots. With the wind nearly dead astern, and wind light and moving about, we had a hard time keeping the headsail filled and elected to run through the night under just the mainsail.
No one was feeling well in the rolling swell - it was impossible to eat or drink, and the fog made it very cold and damp. By morning, we
were all wiped out, and decided to take a break.We came in through the fog to Stillwater Cove, which turns out to be right under the end of the famous Pebble Beach golf course! It is nice and calm and still, we ate and slept up and cleaned things up on the boat. The stars are out and magnificent for the moment, until the marine layer comes back in.
We'll head out in the morning for Port San Luis, which is likely to
take another 24 hours. Our run yesterday was about 105 miles, which
wasn't bad given the conditions.–chad, aboard the S/V Libertine

Voyage of the Libertine: Day 1
September 26, 2008
I’m aboard my friend Will’s sailboat, Libertine, in Oyster Point marina (South San Francisco) – we are leaving this morning for a journey down the California coast, to the Channel Islands and back. With Will as the captain and Coleen, Alan and myself as crew, we will be on the water for the next 6 or 7 days; next stop is planned to be Port San Luis. I will post updates as connectivity permits! We should be underway by 10 this morning.

Hell Ride 5
September 2, 2008
So, Mark Weir and Rachel Lloyd pick a crazy route to ride around Downieville, and then sucker some poor folks into going with them by holding out a new bike as a carrot – what a great idea! They call it the Hell Ride. Check out the route and stats – I can’t believe these guys did it in under 8 hours! That’s just rippin’. Either one of the loops in this course makes for a pretty decent ride.
