Trip Log: Outrigger Canoe Sailing the California Channel Islands

Step 3Preparations and Crew Chief

Preparations and Crew Chief
The last time I sailed offshore in this canoe my rudder broke, the current carried me off my charts, I was in a storm, lost at sea, hallucinating from exhaustion...

I was pretty apprehensive about doing that again. So for this trip I recruited my friend Kathleen Mckee. She's organized. Competent. Fun. The opposite of high strung, which is such a rare quality we don't even have a name for it in our language. Here she is working through the maps and cruising guides. She got us landing permits, campground reservations, things I've never had before.

She's been doing me boat related favors for a long time. Here are her photos and notes of sailing Balsa rafts in Ecuador.
