Marina Del Rey March 20 to March 31

We left Catalina and had heard from folks there, that the fuel price at Los Angeles Harbor was the cheapest price around. We called the fuel dock and they were $1.79 plus 8% tax. This was the best fuel price we had encountered for over a year. We made our way there and took on about 275 gallons. After fueling we continued to Marina Del Rey and were tied up at the dock before sunset.

We spent from March 20^th to the 31^st having a great time in Marina Del Rey. Nikki and Erika were in town and simply ran us ragged. We had a busy and wonderful time, but either those two are too young, or we are too old for that pace. We saw the final run of the shows Erika will dance in for Holland America Cruise line and both Nikki and Erika with their busy schedules were able to spend a night or two on the boat.

We also got to spend some time with our good friends Neal and Eva. It was lovely to see them again, enjoy time together and catch up on what was new with them. Neal, we are thinking of you and wish you the best. Eva, I know you will take good care of Neal and he will be causing his normal trouble again quickly I am sure.

There was to be a break in the weather and we would head out for the Channel Island Yacht Club and if lucky have good weather for exploring the Channel Islands of off Ventura and Oxnard.
