Los Angeles, California

A fleeting return to the United States, marked by history, faith, and friendship. The day began with a quiet welcome at sunrise, leading to Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, where echoes of California’s Spanish past still linger. The mission’s weathered walls, solemn altars, and enduring bell tower spoke of resilience and legacy. A final indulgence at In-N-Out Burger brought a taste of home before our journey continued. As twilight fell over the bustling port, a green light guided us back to sea, a beacon of exploration as we sailed once more into the vast Pacific.
