Alamitos Bay Yacht Club

Mix bag...
Drying things out...

The Club had a very active Junior program, playing with the Sabot (some SoCal version of the Optis) and lasers. A very RYC feel. And our peace was gone the minute the kids would arrive back at the dock 'get out of my way'! 'I was there first'! 'I can't stop * boom, noise of indestructible sabot hull against another one *'

We arrived on Sunday afternoon, stayed the whole of Monday and some of Tuesday - we flew back Tuesday night.

Sunday afternoon what we did was rinsing off some of our clothes, personal gear, etc...and grab a nice (read expensive) celebratory dinner at McKenna's.
Monday, we continued the cleaning up with sails rinsing, airing of sleeping bag, etc...
Tuesday we rolled up the sail, took down the engine and the liferaft and unmounted the solar panel
Thursday, Load-a-Boat, the boat hauling company, took the mast down, put the boat on its trailer and set off for SF
Friday, the boat was delivered at the Saint Francis Yacht Club.

And Monday/Tuesday was spent sleeping, reading and playing around with the Internet. I think it took Nathan about 35 minutes (each!) to check us in w/ Jet Blue online. I finished all the Harry Potters!
