Boat Race and Hikes

Saturday morning I caught the finish of a Santa Barbara to King Harbor race that my friend Connor participated in. He's seen in the pictures on Bully helping take down the jib. Later Mia and I went to Sierra Madre and got up early Sunday to take our weighed-down packs and hike 6.6 miles roind-trip to a summit and back. It was steep, it was heavy, I was sore.  

At 8am I was biking on the strand and could see the first place boat ghosting out of the fog bank in light air.

They ran out of fuel on the trip north from San Pedro and had to replace a busted fuel pump, but they finished the race in good standing!  

Guess I'll throw in a picture of my own boat  

Finishing strong
