Hi, Shipmates -

We board Sancerre in a couple of hours and will be off until Sunday to Santa Cruz Island with artist David Gallup, the Bosun, Marcella and David’s personal chef.

You can get an idea of what we’ll be seeing if you visit David’s site, where you will see some of his best work. Of course, the renderings on the internet do not give the full effect of his work. You have to go to the gallery for that. He posts his showings on the site. At the moment, the Orcas I’ve attached here are living at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. It’s worth the trip to experience this picture.

If wind and weather permit, we’ll head to Pelican this afternoon (Wed.) and be on our way to Painted Cave before dawn on Thursday … unless we turn lazy. After that, who knows?

In addition David’s capturing new scenes and sights at the islands, he’ll be giving painting tips to the Bosun’s daughter Marcella. She’s a budding artist, musician and all-around very bright kid.

The crew, of course, will sanitize its language for this adventure.

You can follow our progress at SPOT

    Thanks again for such a great sail! It’s always a great pleasure being aboard with you, and this trip was no exception. Imagine the weather we had (high 60′s) in November! Got to love the Channel Islands!!!

    Let’s do it again soon- I’ll see when my chef is available again and we’ll set it up! Meanwhile, I’ll get you some pics of paintings from the trip ASAP.

    Cheers!
