OUR PRE-EASTER SAIL

The "sistahs" at the helm.

A little did-din to finish off the night.

MARCH BLISS

Warm weather, plenty of dolphins and Kevin and Zach. Can it get any better?

THE WILD KINGDOM

The Admiral and I enjoy Avalon during the winter months because it's relatively uncrowded and it's the closest harbor on Catalina from Dana Point. This trip marked our 77th passage to this unique gem of the Channel Island chain. We hiked every day (the water is freezing) and we came across some interesting fauna we'd like to share with you.   

Escapee from Sea World. 

Watch your step.

Bird of prey, not sure which one.

Home, home, on the range.

A happy crew at the end of the day

IT'S WHALE WATCHING TIME

Today the Admiral and capt braved the gray overcast sky and cold weather to catch a glimpse of these beautiful marine mammals. We have learned that if you can find and get near one of the commercial whale watching boats, you'll see whales. And today was no exception. We saw two whales from a distance (sorry no pics) spouting several times before sounding. But the best spectacle today was the armada of private boaters, following and jockeying for position around the tour boat following the whales. I wonder what the whales were thinking?

THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

It's been exactly one month since Serenity Now returned from Baja. Today was the first time she left the slip since then. The weather was super clear and the air was brisk. The sea was calm and the sail was awesome.  The Admiral and capt had a great day.

THE BEAST

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May the seas be calm, your sunsets memorable, and time with loved ones appreciated and cherished forever. Make 2013 an adventure you'll never forget. Let's go sailing!
