Hikianalia Video Update | Oct 15, 2018: Santa Ana Winds
Senior Hikianalia captain Bob Perkins with us today explaining a weather phenomenon typical for Southern California known as Santa Ana winds. The same winds today left 43,000 Southern California Edison customers in the dark in at least 83 different areas in Los Angeles.
Needless to say, itʻs really gusty weather with sustained winds 30 to 40 knots and gusts 50 to 60 knots. The seasonal winds can last days but the crew hopes the weather will pass soon–it’s already forced Hikianalia crewmembers to cancel yesterday’s short sail from Channel Islands Harbor over to Channel Islands National Park, Santa Cruz Island.
Will Hikianalia crewmembers pull anchor in time to make to Redondo Beach? Cross your fingers and stay tuned right here at www.Hokulea.com!
We’ve got new gear in the PVS Store!
