It's about 60 NM to Santa Cruz from the Gate. So in about 10 hours from now I'll keep an eye on the harbor mouth to see if he has decided to make a pit stop here. (Surf City is located next to the fuel dock, just inside the harbor entrance.)

At the mile mark it's blowing at least 30 right now and there's a good swell running. If that thing is capable of surfing...it's gonna!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I just hope he hits the sea buoy before he makes the left!!!

So if he does pull in here, I might be obliged to give him some sort of gift from the shop for making it down a pretty gnarly stretch of coast in that craft. What should I give him?
