I spent the weekend in Los Angeles with my Valentine, so not much was done on Circadian. My major achievement for the week was securing the registration and CF numbers for Circadian's dinghy. I know, it doesn't sound like much, but it was a real bureaucratic nightmare trying to get things done at motor vehicle departments in both California and Florida. It literally took several months!
We had a delightful time in Los Angeles. The weather was perfect: balmy and clear. We visited the Getty Museum and had an excellent dinner in the Museum restaurant on Saturday. Sunday we treated ourselves to massages at a Korean health spa and then Carol spent a couple of hours preparing a very special dinner for us. This morning we had breakfast at Cantor's famous deli, and then we strolled around the docks at Marina Del Rey before Carol dropped me off at the airport.
As for the coming week, the forecast calls for rain for as far out as it goes, so my efforts to get the cabin leaks cured will be in for a real test! We'll get the verdict soon!
All's well that ends with a walk to look at boats! It was a sweet weekend. from Valentine.

Yup, that's a Pacific Seacraft, Dana 24 I think. It took a lot of dock watching to find a decent boat for the picture! (BTW, my first boat was a Flicka! Amazing for 20 feet!
ReplyDeleteI love flicka - the more modern one with the head. awesome boat...but *ahem...slow. love the dana too. but my fave is the orion 27. the older PSC 31 not so keen. the newer 31 better. 34 PSC awesome. 37 ACK! so big for saltymonkey! ok awesome all awesome indeed! awesome@#@#!
ReplyDeletesaltymonkey would like a OVNI but is awaiting his friday lotto results. then there is freedoms and hereshoff cat ketches and LM 30's which salty monkey likes and when salty needs to wear a speedo - beneteau or jeanneau. sugar scoops are...so strange...but not so bad i suppose for peeing off deck.
ok saltymonkey likes all boats!
Perhaps there's a reason boats are traditionally referred to as a "she." They are all different and each has particular virtues and vices. So it's all about finding the compromise that makes you happy. And of course, you love'em all.
