HERE WE GO AGAIN

Jackpot flew in from Maui and the Ranger from Portland to attend this year's Nesporado excursion to Catalina Island on Serenity Now. El Jeffe and the capt rounded out the crew as Sailor Jerry remained home recuperating from some recent back surgery. Heal fast brother!

Near perfect weather conditions prevailed for most of the trip. It's hard to complain when the water and air are warm, the beer is cold and there's plenty of Danny's Dip. Well actually there were two complaints. One, the crapper pooped out. No pun intended. As jackpot said, "We can put a man on the moon but still cannot come up with a reliable marine toilet." And two, the fishing was disappointing. But the swimming, snorkeling, night dive, SUP and stories made up for it. Another great time for all.

Enjoying the water.

A little long board tow to start the day.

Kickin' back at Rippers.

Nastrovia!

Settled in at Willow, our go-to anchorage.
