Was that his plan to go along the Channel Islands?  Or did he call an audible?

Plan? What plan?

Anyways, it looks to me like he is about 100 miles (as the crow flies) from Santa Monica. Not sure where he's planning to land, as he just says LA...

Don't want to be a debbie downer, but if the target is *any* tuna, why not launch from SD and heads towards the donkey show (mexico, a little too early for wfo in US waters)?

Windy.com shows that the winds at 10+ knots, so I hope Mr. X has gotten out from behind the island and is again sailing at a decent clip...

Since his last message at 4:30pm yesterday, I've send a couple of text messages to Mr. X, but no response yet. According to windy, winds are pretty light, like 5kt, so it is probably slow going...

Almost 24 hours, but finally got a text from Mr. X! It sounds like he had an extremely rough time of it last night, but he survived.

Anyways, he says conditions are now good, and he doesn't foresee any difficulty getting to LA.
