Four Former Oil Rigs

Looking over an old chart, I thought I missed four oil rigs off Santa Barbara. It turns out Hilda, Hazel, Hope, and Heidi were torn down in 1996.

Still Don't Have the Weather

With only three Southern California oil rigs left, I'm anxious to get them done. But I'm still not having the weather. This area offshore from Gaviota has volatile weather, and I'll have a long upwind leg getting back to shore in the late afternoon, so it's really worth waiting for the right day.
