Sailing to Santa Cruz | Monterey Bay | Sailing Avocet

[@RayTeerlink]

Grew up in San Jose, Santa Cruz was the beach we’d go to. Love to see Santa Cruz from the water. Awesome.

Cheers!

that jellyfish shot was amazing!

[@sailingavocet]

Wasn't it cool!?

Jelly shot was awesome!

[@sailingavocet]

Right!? Nuts!

Man! Santa Cruz was my home away from home when I lived in the Bay Area. I always lived in Palo Alto, but all my free time was spent in Santa Cruz. Sad to see that the Saturn Cafe was permanently closed. But at least the 11th Hour and the Santa Cruz Bookstore are still open! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@sailingavocet]

I miss the Saturn Cafe!

[@matatooie]

@@sailingavocet spent many a late night dining there;) Well, so did everyone else, actually, it was always packed. You know the old joke, no body goes there anymore, it’s too crowded. There was also British styled pub downtown, as well. Can’t remember the name. I used to play darts there. And it is still the only bar I used to feel at ease reading a book while I was there;)

Beautiful episode filming 🎥 Thanks for sharing. Absolutely superb sailing ⛵️ Greetings from the tropical paradise island Kauai ! The best of luck

[@sailingavocet]

Thank you for watching!

[@user-retsailor]

Had to return to some Avocet videos ! That stretch of Cali is so nice for sailing with the Islands not far away and a few decent anchorages. I've recently thought I'd be at home in Ventura marina, sailing the islands weekly. Your boat looked pretty good there in Santa Cruz harbor !

[@sailingavocet]

Welcome back! We hope you enjoy the recent videos :)

[@wadeshore]

Love Santa Cruz. I’ve spent a lot of time there. I have lived in the South Bay since I was 3 years old. Just registered for the Wharf to Wharf run.

[@sailingavocet]

very cool :)

Aww Jordan! You are so sweet! I hope you are doing well

[@svmersea]

Fun! Thanks for sending the link! We like anchoring on the west side of the wharf also! Way more picturesque! We are making our way down to Mexico this year in autumn!

[@sailingavocet]

Epic! I hope we share an anchorage :)

[@svmersea]

@@sailingavocet Totally! We'll be going up into the Sea of Cortez. I don't know if you guys are planning on staying in Mexico for a while or not?

[@sailingavocet]

@@svmersea Perfect, we are heading there too. We blasted down Baja and went straight to the mainland so we are excited to head up into the sea :)

[@svmersea]

@@sailingavocet We won't be there until November. But if you are still there at that time, it would be so fun to meet up!

[@sailingavocet]

are you Westside? Eastside? North County? South County? Mountain? ...

[@sailingavocet]

Im a southsider. RIP cement ship pier.

[@towada1066]

@@sailingavocet ah! so Eastside (^-^) ... I'm Westside (represent!) (^-^) ... the storm was really bad and even worse in the mountains.

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Home sweet home. Aren't you supposed to ride Santa Cruz mountain bikes when you are from Santa Cruz 🤔 😉

[@sailingavocet]

We used to have some, then Chris convinced me that boat life was not cohesive for mountain bikes. You know what happened after that? We sold our NICE Santa Cruz Bikes, then two years later bought cheaper bikes haha!

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Well I checked out the prizes of those bikes and they are not exactly cheap. 😅 Pretty nice bikes though 👌 But you can get downhill on slightly more affordable bikes too I guess 😉

[@sailingavocet]

@@Martin_Skywatcher Sure can, that's why I wrote this article: adventuresportsjournal.com/schwinn-mountain-bike-for-the-win/
