A few pics

I finally got this to download some pictures, although it downloads from bottom to top so these are in reverse order of our trip. Top is a restored "Red Car" one of L.A'.s original street cars, it runs up and down the waterfront in San Pedro.


The San Pedro Maritime Museum is in the background and the 16" gun and projectile 6' in front of the gun are from one of the Iowa Class Battleships from WWII.

When we were heading to LA we had Dolphins running under our bow just one or two feet from the boat.

Exchanging burgees with Channel Islands Yacht Club. For the non boaters a burgee is the small flag we fly on our bow showing which club we belong to and exchanging with another club signifies friendship between the two clubs.

We have been warned to watch where we anchor if we go out to one of the Islands because they have a lot of kelp beds and it not only can get wrapped up on your anchor but it can get wrapped up in your propellers and get sucked up into your cooling water intakes.

At Avila Bay we saw 50 or 60 sea lions thrashing in the water all around the bay and at one time all around our boat. We finally figured out that they were feeding on bait fish that came into the bay and the group of them moved around the bay as the fish moved, it was quite a sight to watch this huge area of churning water move around the bay.

We will be heading to Newport Beach tomorrow, weather has been low to mid 70's during the day and mid to hi 50's at night, cooler than normal. Oh well it beats 50's and 30's.
