At Marina Del Rey

Marina Del Rey
33 58.881 N, 118 26.752 W
Yesterday we had a visit from Louise, Michael and Ruth. Louise is Rae's mother, Michael is Louise's husband and Ruth is Louise's mother. They came down to Windarra. First we went on a motor around the harbor to make sure everyone felt comfortable and then we went out the breakwater and did some sailing. It was great fun. Ruth was not sure at first but she was a trooper and had fun. Louise and Michael helped with some of the sheets as well. Afterwards we came back to the slip and Rich fixed dinner and there was plenty of conversation.

This morning we checked out of the marina bound for Marina Del Rey. The weather was warm and the winds light and variable, seas 1-3 foot swell, 1 foot chop and we watched the scenery go by. Marina Del Rey is a large complex, with several marinas, yacht clubs and slip space for 6000 boats. Many of the smaller slips are empty. We are getting a reduced rate since we are one of the Baja Ha-Ha'ers, but this is definitely not the cheap seats!. We passed one sailboat on the way in that has a mizzen mast taller than Windarra's mast!
Tomorrow we plan to head for Catalina Island
