Sailing south to San Francisco -- crewing on SV Sapphire

We are crewing for our friend Jay on his Cambria 48 "Sapphire", Vancouver to San Francisco. Departure planned for this Saturday, August 25th.

SV Sapphire (off of Juan Perez Sound, Haida Gwaii)

We met Jay while sailing/cruising up in Haida Gwaii, last summer (2011).

Enter MMSI 338101205 and/or Sapphire.


Hopefully, this will be good experience for our trip next year down to San Francisco. (We'll be back in Vancouver in early September.)
