having spent two days cruising around the deserted channel islands we left a lee shore anchorage with an imminent gale forcast and headed across the Santa Barbara Channel We battled 40 knot winds and high seas and arrived in Santa Barbara at midday none the worse for wear and the strongest winds arrive tonight with 70 knots forcast. Very happy to be tucked up in a smart Marina.
