Had a great dinner and visit with Josie and her mother, we stayed another 2 days at the municipal marina in Marina Del Rey so we could meet up with Ralph and Jackie for lunch as they were on their way to a wedding at nearby Manhattan Beach the next day. So great to meet up with some of the wonderful people that we have met along the way.
We left Sun. noon and made the run to Redondo Beach, nice trip the ocean was pretty smooth but we still had low clouds 1 to 2 mile visibility, met a couple from Seattle that are headed back to Mexico.
Mon. A.M. we headed down to L.A. About noon we pulled into Cabrillo marina at San Pedro, again low clouds and 1 to 2 miles visibility until we arrived then the sun came out and it got up to the low 80's. The weather is supposed to get back to normal, mid 80's the rest of the week.
I'm going to try to meet up with someone from here that is going on FUBAR (the trip to Mexico) when we are going, then I have to get busy on the phone and try to find a place to moor the boat for a month so we can come home for 2 to 3 weeks.
Plans are to come home on the 8th and stay until the 29th so I need to find out where I'm going to leave the boat so I know what airport we'll fly out of.
We look forward to spending time with family and friends, we miss everyone!
LaVon's comments: Girls the water hasn't been so bad, had couple times when uncomfortable for me at least. Meeting people along the way is great but seems like you don't get to much "girl time." Moving so often isn't always great, would love to find a place to be for a couple of weeks to stay and feel more like home than nomads. Places around here are few and far between to just go anchor out, sit back relax and lay around. I will admit it is a great place to own a kayak as you can go around the marinas with ease. These guys down here even go out in the ocean. NOT for me. Does make it a little challenging coming in to a channel or harbor with all the kayaks and the latest thing, people on surf boards standing paddling in the middle of the channel. For some reason big boats coming in or out of the harbor doesn't mean they should get out of the way!!!!! I am ready to come home for a visit although the weather has finally improved and am looking forward to finally getting a tan. Have learned one thing: YOU CANT ALWAYS GO SHOPPING AND JUST BUY THINGS 'CAUSE YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE SPACE TO STORE IT. Rule #1. Something comes something goes.
That's all for now

You guys are so awesome! I love reading about your time - thanks for sharing. Know what ya mean about "home time" - we love to go but I'm always ready to be home again. Take good care of yourselves and think of us here in Montana as the weather is already starting to turn... send "warm" when you can OK? (pictures are good) Smiles to you both - Janet
