Arrival


The crew of Chasch Mer arrived in Seal Beach California Wednesday, June 6 2007. The five had sailed the yacht 2400 nautical miles in 17 days. Engineless, the yacht's sails were the sole source of positive movement. Windless days, the crew grew agitated and fears of drifting in the ocean waiting for wind grew in the minds of some. With patience, the wind came up and we sailed hard for many days on end. Following seas and huge waves with short periods made for a wild ride as Chasch Mer surfed down the rolling giants. The sea life was full and welcoming upon arrival. We were greeted by humpback whales breaching out of the water, four different dolphin species playing off the bow, shy sea lions, pelicans, and sea gulls. It was wild and way cool.

I had the celebratory beer and fish n chips upon arrival. It was awesome but even better was the In and Out Burger.

Until next time - Fair winds and following seas.
