Re: sailboat survives rocks at Redondo

I hate the King Harbor entrance when the wind picks up to 20k, which is almost always due West onto a lee shore. The crap-your-pants part is that the approach maneuver to get inside the breakwater is almost a full U-turn. You have to approach downwind due to the pier to the south, then you literally head up to about 45 degrees off the wind to just get inside. Without momentum and some quick grinding at the turn, you won't point high enough, and that damn jetty will be waiting for you.

Re: sailboat survives rocks at Redondo

The rescuer in the water was pretty lucky. Not sure what the plan was from within the water. Seems like a good way to get crushed into rocks or under the boat. He has guts I'll give him that.

Glad everyone was safe.
