After Cojo Anchorage, we motor-sailed over to San Miguel in the Channel Islands. As we were coming into Cuyler Harbor to anchor, a huge motor yacht practically ran us over in order to beat us to the best anchorage. We didn't have any trouble setting our anchor in a more exposed location, but we sure were glad to have such heavy-duty ground tackle because the wind picked up quite a bit, and we were definitely rocking and rolling all night.

In the morning we had a nice sail to Santa Cruz Island and Coches Prietos Anchorage. It was the quietest anchorage we'd had in several days and very pretty. Most of the waves were caused by dive boats (like the one that beat us out of our spot at Cuyler Harbor) bringing people in for night dives.

This morning M�rzen woke me up early with her crying. She'd thrown up in her bed, and she hasn't been able to keep anything down since last night. She even turned her nose up at the Tillamook cheese I used to hide another half a Benadryl. That's a sick puppy! So we decided to skip Anacapa Island and motored over to Oxnard (Channel Islands Harbor). We're taking her to the vet here in a little bit.
