Point Conception

So this is where California corners.

You have Point Conception.

And so once you get over that mountain range, you have places like Lompoc, which is next to the Vandberg Range.

Space Force Base.

Y- you know, and one story we've been following along the California coast, which kinda blows me away, is this woman Kat Reed, who's been swimming from Oregon to Mexico, and we talked to Heather Richard, who was, uh, on the, on the, uh, skippering the sailboat down the coast, and she went down.

They said they anchored every night along the Big Sur coastline, say, between Monterey and, and Point Conception, and it seems kind of amazing, but I'm guessing you did it as a straight shot [laughs] down the coast.

Yeah, it's 320 miles from San Francisco to Long Beach, and we, uh, burn about a gallon and a half an hour at eight knots, and, uh, came in with 10 gallons to spare.

[laughs] But we, we actually rather said...

I, I mean, right now I'm looking at the long range forecast, and I thought that next weekend we might see some subtropical moisture from the remnants of all the [laughs] hurricanes in the eastern Pacific Ocean would be pulled up somewhat, and there might be a chance of, of maybe a few rain showers here and there.

But it looks like most of the precipitation will remain south of Point Conception, the Southern California bite.

So it does, it, it looks like an extended period of dry weather, which is quite normal for this time of the year.

In fact, Scott, being a former, uh, firefighter, r- really knows that that's some of the most hazardous conditions, uh, for firefighting is-

So like now you're skipping La Jolla, right?" And then that kind of like sets up a different proposal relative to this.

Or you could start from Point Conception, and then that would hit different spots on the way down because people just kept insisting, at least in my work group, that it was no less than 70 miles even though the guidance was no more than 70 miles.

Yeah.

So it was a really interesting situation, and that eventually...
