FLIERS, FLIES & FOG

Hamilton Cove, Little Harbor, Buttonshell and Avalon, four stops in four nights. Yes, we did a lot of moving around for various reasons. Our plan was to spend one night in Avalon and then head to Little Harbor for the rest of the trip. Avalon was packed because of an air show the next day so we settled in at a bumpy Hamilton Cove. In the morning we were off to Little Harbor. Unbelievably, there were no other boats there. The anchors were set and soon we noticed a few kelp flies, or should I say they noticed us. We swatted until the sun set and decided two days of this would be too much. The flies won and we left the next morning, back to the front side. Our departure for Dana Point was aborted because of dense fog so it was back to Avalon for our final night, a day in the life for a couple of ocean-going vagabonds.

This is why we extended an extra night.
