In a word--gorgeous. Warmish; clear skies especially at night, with moderate winds on low seas. Leaving Ventura on Wednesday we sailed on a NW wind nearly all the way (17.5 n. mi.) into the anchorage at Little Scorpion, Santa Cruz Island. Anchored with plenty of swinging room which all late comers respected. The constellation Orion dominated the night sky, heralding arrival of the late autumn. Sailed home Saturday on a light SE wind which brought the apparent wind fwd of the beam. In the slip 15 min before afternoon fog arrived!! Gotta love it here!
