no real achorage

Since there is no real anchorage right around here we ended up picking up a mooring and stayed for the whole time before coming back. It was rather special and beautiful and peaceful. Very cold and even rained one day but just a little... the only bad thing is that I dropped my G10 in the ocean... can you imagine? I am just trying to put it away so it is safe and sound and slips out of my hands bounces right off the dock into the water. Had to get all suited up and recover it. Soaked it in fresh water but it did not help.

Avalon

I still feel that Avalon is the best in the winter, spring, and fall... Hardly ever go to the "city" in the summer. Not for any other reason as to that I do not like it while being so jammed with people from all over. Plus the dogs can really enjoy it more in the off season and not at all in the season because it is not as dog friendly as you would think. Still Avalon is very special and we love it.

First trip since the shaft replace and new props

Well it was the first real trip... yeah I had taken it out for little trips but not for channel crossing which is what I need to do in order to know that everything is nice and dandy...
first stop Emerald and than onto Avalon...
