On to San Diego

While we were home we got to spend some time with family and friends.
Passing the Queen Mary at Long Beach.

Met with a long time friend From High School at Newport Beach and had a wonderful visit.


Dana Point is a beautiful Harbor to come into.



Rock Art done by a local, all of the rocks are balanced and when the wind blows them down he comes back and re does them, no glue, no support.










This is why we were stuck an additional 3 days in Dana Point. High swell warnings until Friday so we left for San Diego Saturday. Decided to skip Oceanside due to local knowledge telling us that it is not a good harbor to enter.














The latest craze in California is paddling surfboards around the harbor and out into the ocean.








And the scenery is not too bad either! Eat your heart out guys.









Square Rigger at the Oceanography Institute.










The owner takes this out occasionally on nice weekends. Roomer is that for a 1 million dollar donation he is allowed to park the boat at the Oceanography Institute. Name of the boat is "Fighting Irish" . Notra Dame grad ya think?











Welcome to SUNNY SAN DIEGO! On the trip down from Dana Point we ran into fog about an hour out and had 1/4 to 1/2 mile visibility all the way into San Diego, thank heavens for chart plotters, GPS and radar.
