Come Sail Away

That's exactly what we did today. We drove up to Santa Clarita and picked up our friend Sharon and drove to Ventura where she and her husband Terry have their boat. We arrived at Ventura Harbor around 8:30 and it was promising to be a beautiful day.

This is Sharon and I up on the bridge while we just leaving the harbor. You can see a little of it in the background.


It took us about 2 hours to get the one of the Channel Islands. The seas were starting to get a little rough just before we got to the island but on the back side it was calm and the guys started fishing.



Here is a picture of part of the island.



We were out there fishing for a couple of hours and started back around 3:00pm, not knowing that Terry had heard a small craft warning. Well, we came around from behind that island and it was really rough. I mean the swells were tipping us from side to side. I spent the next 2 hours sitting in a chair on the back of the boat hanging on for dear life and trying not to get sick by eating pretzles. But I made it!!

All in all it was a good day spent with friends. I believe we are going back in a couple of weeks for the Harbor Lights parade. More on that later.
