It was an relatively uneventful trip of 46 miles getting us in about 1730 hours and into the city docks at only $1.00/ foot/night. Not bad really. We have a new set of "boating buddies"--Jay and Terri off Cadenza. They took off about 45 minutes before us from Oxnard and radioed us once they got into Marina Del Rey to let us know the lay of the water so to speak. We are both off for the week end at Catalina Island. George and Celeste off Nereid probably won't make is as they had a few more things to get done in Oxnard and couldn't leave on Thursday like we did and it's a LONG journey to try and make in one day from there to Catalina Island.
The rain finally stopped Thursday morning and the Sun came out finally to play. Now there is just a bunch of smog and lots of garbage floating in the water. We started seeing lots of it in the water once we passed Point Dume just North of Marina del Rey. The weekend is supposed to be great.
I did get a call on Thursday morning from Great Lakes Power that they will honor the warranty on our transmission and are making arrangements with a company in LA to get it fixed once we go back there next week. Don't know how long it is going to take but just knowing they will get it fixed for us is great news.
I'll be posting pictures of the week end later as internet permits.
More to come.
