Just wrapping up the purchase of a 47 foot lein wah with twin ford Lehmans the boat is in San Diego and I plan to spend several days in San Diego shaking her down and then heading north to my home in the bay area. I would like to take my time heading up the coast. Probably leaving San Diego in early October. My navigation skills are pretty good as I spent 30 years in the Navy as a navigator. I have a great deal of sailboat experience but limited power. So far the trip looks like this. Hoping to make 8 knots good.
Day 1: Final Shake Down off San Diego anchor in Mission Bay
Day 2: Mission Bay to Catalina(Avalon)(75 miles)
Day 3: Visit Catalina
Day 4: Catalina to Ventura Harbor (85 Miles)
Not sure of whats next and am open to any ideas. I would like to keep my daily passages under 100 miles. Does anyone know of a good website for planning my trip. Is my planning speed of 8 knots reasonable. Other advice or info is wanted and welcome. Thanks in advance for the help.
