This morning we raised the anchor at 10:45 am and said goodbye to Hen Rock Cove after 4 days at anchor. It was nice and relaxing. Very few boats were there and it was quiet except for the giggles and shouts of kids in kayaks during the day, especially when the sea lions came by to check them out. We did some reading and a few chores. It looks like Rich has fixed out engine start problems. As we were going over to Catalina, we noticed that the oil pressure gauge for the engine was not working correctly, and more erratically when we increased engine RPM. On Tuesday, Rich found that there was a loose connection on the oil pressure sensor and a loose terminal strip in the binnacle there the engine start connections were attached. He corrected both issues and the engine has been starting immediately, hot or cold. Hooray!
After anchor up we motored by Avalon, just to see what it was like. The harbor was not jammed packed with boats but all day we saw boats going over. We assume it will be crowded this weekend. After we passed we headed over to Newport Beach. At first we we having a great sail but then the winds petered out and it was a motorsail the rest of the way.
Now we are anchored near Lido Island. There a just a few other boats in the anchorage. While it was still light we saw small sailing dingies making there way around a course that went right by Windarra. There were also paddleboarders, crew shells, small electric boats and some larger sailboats going up and down the channel. This evening the party boats are plying their way, as many as 5. Could any one of them be for Flosten Paradise?
Tomorrow we will look for slip space for a few nights and do some exploring.
