After a great party (4AM) we realized that if we didn't escape from Santa Barbara, we might never leave. Although not in the best of form, we set sail for Ventura mid-morning. Winds were light and astern, a perfect situation to practice with our spinnaker - so up it went. OK, so we screwed up the leads for the lines the first time, but in 5 minutes, it looked pretty good. We used it until about 5:30 when the wind got up to 15 knots. We arrived at Ventura at 7PM (getting dark earlier).
For the next day, we visited with old friends and even had another(!) flamenco party. Well OK, maybe we aren't cruising yet, but at least we're moving along.
