This is Bob Martinez singlehanding his Two out past Anacapa Island, CA.
At this point he is about 8 miles offshore and headed west.
Looks comfortable, doesn't he?
I think this was taken during Frenchy's Rum Run, an out-and-back beam(ish) reach.
30 miles of racing with one tack (or is it a gybe?).
About halfway to Frenchy's beach the sea floor drops to 750 feet, so the whales like to cruise through the warmer water often enough that the whale watching boats from Santa Barbara come here.
