Farallones/Continental shelf sailing aboard the cutter Cetacea in November!

It’s time for our annual Continental Shelf/Farallon Islands sailing adventure aboard the SV cutter Cetacea, a world-class blue-water 42’ fast-cruiser! We'll depart early Sat morning, hanging around the Farallon Islands for sunset photos, return to the marina by around 10pm! Ocean sailing with nothing in sight except the largest mammals on earth; the blue whales, and lots of other migrating whales, at least for several hours!

There are 2 private staterooms and a Pilot House sleeping area, 2 fully-instrumented helm stations below and in the cockpit, and a big red Japanese Kubota tractor engine to assist us if we hit the tropical doldrums and need the iron spinnaker, as a couple times in past.

Cetacea invites 4-5 responsible and enthusiastic female crew, possibly an experienced sailing couple as in some past events, to join a platonic-only captain and experienced Captain (me!). You should have windy bay sailing experience to consider this mild/moderate offshore sailing adventure.

I'm planning on Nov 29 simply because the tides are perfect! Nov 15 has less favorable tides, but could work if the weather is too great to pass up! So, which of these 2 dates is unknown, as of now.

How cool is it to be far enough off the west coast to see the city light's reflections on the clouds as we return, You'll remember this all your life, and such a totally different sailing environment from the SF Bay!
