ST CLEMENT'S SAILING ACADEMY

Sunday's crew was made up of two parishioners; Nick, a captain in the USMC and Mari, a retired 20 year Marine Corp Master Sergeant DI. The weather was perfect again as we sailed down the coast and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon on the water. Amen!

 

HAPPY 5th OF JULY

It was an ideal day for a sail; sunny, in the mid-70's, consistent breeze and a ready and willing crew. Mix in a few stories, a lot of laughs, some tasty snacks, several cold adult beverages topped off with dinner at the Harbor Grill...perfecto!

So did the capt.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

The 4th of July is the busiest day of the year at the marina. We decided to lay low, spend a few nights on the boat, enjoy the near-perfect weather and watch the fireworks show. We were even treated to an air show!

A DAY WITH THE WANDERERS

Shutterbug and T-Bone, the creator of the Emerado, wandered their way to K Dock in Dana Point for a very mellow afternoon on the water. After a false start on The Big Easy, the right vessel was located and the fun began. Light air, sunny skies, snacks, laughs and a warm breeze made for a  great day. The afternoon was capped when T-Bone tried the SUP for the very first time without getting wet! The night ended celebrating two b-days at the Harbor Grill. Good times with good friends.

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE

PUT ANOTHER CANDLE ON MY BIRTHDAY CAKE

Seven nights at the island, secluded cove, warm days, cool nights, nice water, ukulele, fishing, snorkeling, laughing, stand up paddling, great meals, swimming, talking to some long-time island friends, swatting flying insects, watching some really funny stupid things people do...this is how the Admiral and I celebrated the 30th anniversary of my 39th birthday. It doesn't get any better.

The fire near Santa Barbara produced some beautiful sunrises.

Five nights were spent here in Big Geiger.

The summer solstice moon rising.

Wow, what'a ride!!

 

OLD BOAT BARBIES NEVER DIE, THEY JUST...

...are transformed into containers for veggies, fruits and flowers.

The near container is a tomato plant and the far one is planted with sweet peppers and forget-me-nots.
