I’m Home Today – Noise in the marina
Channel Islands Harbor We arrived in Channel Islands Harbor late last September. We had a reservation and slip assignment for the Channel Islands Harbor Marina. We arrived mid-day, in beautiful weather. Excited to be in a new harbor and a new marina, it took a little extra cruising to spot our new place among all […]

I know I left you waiting for the much anticipated voyage north – but the weather just didn’t materialize. Well, not quite true. […]
Weather Watch – No Joy!
