Thank you for that write up, David. You make it sound easy. Did you come back through Bonita channel? It seems so from the track. That wasn't scarey? Congratulations. What a great boat.

Nicely done David, the trip and the write up.
Hi Jackie -
yeah, it weighed in on my thinking. particularly where to time the last jibe in, though that mostly came down to wind angle.
Ultimately I had the choice of the channel or the potato patch.
since it was flooding in the channel and the swell was mostly wind driven, I bet on the channel depth affecting the waves less than the Potato patch shallows.
I was fortunate to arrive at the Bonita Buoy around slack water and with new wind, so not so much washing machine. Like to say I planned that, but it just worked out that way timing wise.
Most excellent! Congratulations, David!
