A FEW FIRSTS

Avalon during the summer is a zoo but there's a completely different vibe during the winter. We found a brief weather window to make the journey and we made the best of it. To Life!

We had to delay this trip several days because of fog. On our day of departure the sky was beautiful and the conditions were excellent.

 The first thing we have never seen before was a container ship under tow. Two tugs were pulling this behemoth south. It's sure nice to be a member of Vessel Assist.

Nature's color never disappoints.

The second "first" on this trip was the whale that cruised into Avalon Bay. We had seen this little guy while fishing earlier in the day. He wondered into the mooring field and put on a brief show for the boaters.

We had a five hour ride home, calm sea, clear sky and a 10-15 knot W,  NW breeze pushing us along.
Nostrovia!
