    The Coastal Eddy is Our Friend.

    I ended up motoring down to Chula Vista because there wasn't enough wind to make it worth the trouble of hoisting the sails. That changed about 45 minutes before I arrived at my destination when a nice west wind (thanks, Eddy!) came up but by that time it was too late. It was the first time I'd navigated the South Bay channel and I would have dropped my sails about then anyway.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
