Sailing From Santa Cruz
September
12 - 13, 2003
GATITA was berthed
in Santa Cruz for a few weeks. After some fun-filled days - it was time to head
back home.
I stayed at the boat
overnight - and started early next morning. It was just before Sunrise.
Santa Cruz small-craft
harbor is beautiful. There was not a breath of wind as I went around the Natural
Bridges park and the Sun started peeping over the hills.

Unlike the last couple of
times - this was a bright, warm and clear day. I saw a bunch of powerboats out
and about. Including this fishing boat.
