We have spent a lovely week at the Channel Islands Marina in Oxnard. Along with getting some work completed, we have had the opportunity to visit some of our old haunts and even spent some time with our previous dock neighbor, Steve Fox on s/v Sparrow. We really love this place and hope we will be back again.

The refrigeration is working beautifully, our two banks of house batteries are performing well, and we’ve picked up another solar panel to increase our power input. The boat is washed and stowed. Last night we had one last dinner out and now we are off!

We will spend the next few days touring Santa Cruz Island, exploring some of the coves and hiking the trails. From there we will make our way down the coast to Long Beach, where friends await us.

Looking forward to being unplugged for a few days.
