Photos now that we have a strong internet!



Here are some of the pictures we have taken over the past week or so  From Cojo Anchorage just past Point Conception to Prison's Anchorage at Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands.

Our first view of Southern California.  This is Cojo Anchorage just south of Point Conception.  The cruising guides say this is what California looked like 1000 years ago.  Heck, it's just like what we used to sail on in New Mexico!
The cliffs at Cojo Anchorage with rolling surf from Point Conception.
Sundown at Santa Barbara looking west over the marina.
The wharf at Prison's Anchorage.
Seaweed off the wharf at Prisoner's Anchorage.
The "beach" at Prisoner's.  Lots of rocks for the Park Service landing craft that brings supplies for the rangers. 
It must get REALLY muddy at the landing with this many boot cleaners by the wharf.
Now only the Park Service has vehicles(maybe 5) on the island which begs to wonder why they need a speed limit sign.
One of the misshapen trees twisted on the shoreline above the anchorage at Prisoner's.  The winds blew just about all the time.  Not hard for the most part but they do make their presents known.
Looking down on the anchorage from high on the hill overlooking Prisoner's Anchorage.  That's another fishing boat off the point and us at anchor.
Looking east towards Chinese Harbor(around to the right of the picture) and Potato Cove just off the far point.
Looking west past Prisoner's Anchorage towards Pelican Cove just around the point.
The wharf and Zephyr riding at anchor in the bay
