This is a picture of us in 1976 when we were at San Carlos for the first time. The location is "Catch 22" beach and we were standing directly in front of what is now known as the "Soggy Peso" bar. Below, is a picture of the Fiesta Hotel in 1976.
Rodney and Lanette Mackey joined us for sailing on San Diego Bay. A perfect day for celebrating their anniversary and Carolyns' birthday on the water. Hawaii 2008
Summer 2008 we went to Hawaii with our friends, Ned and Deana for a couple of weeks of sunshine and fun. We rented a house in Kaneohe which is located on the opposite side of Oahu from Honolulu. David was working on a coffee farm on the big island of Hawaii and he was able to join us. Here are some pictures.

Sailing
I am doing some maintenance at the masthead of Ocean Blue (Tayana 55) prior to the Newport/Ensenada yacht race in May, 2009. We placed respectably. Completing the 128 mile race in less than 24 hours.
Our mooring in Catalina with Avalon directly off the stern
A whale joined us about 25 miles offshore on our way back to Coronado Island.
The Silver Strand State Beach on Coronado Island is within a few steps of our slip. There is an underground pedestrian tunnel going under the road from the bay side to the Pacific Ocean.
