This event, frustratingly, has the same path angle as the 2000 HP41 event that is 1 hr earlier, but, the northern limit of one event is the southern limit of the other, forcing a choice . Tough event, only 0.5s long. It looks like the thing to do, is try this either from Cabrillo if time to get there, or else from "The (original) Farm" Park in Capitola on Soquel. Then go to Cabrillo.
