King Harbor - Redondo Beach

so here we are- at the dock and Steve's buddy Neil is our personal tour guide!! we will be staying here for about a week, seeing Hollywood, driving the coast, Disneyland- shh don't tell the kids that yet, and whatever else. We will do a big stock up here as we have a van to use. it took us 13 hrs to get here from Santa Barbara, we sailed for about 2 hrs before the winds died down to nothing. Then we motored. We were escorted into the harbour by about 20 dolphins by moonlight. They were so cool- phosphorescence everywhere and the dolphins looked like ghosts. very very neat. sorry I couldn't get a picture.

I forgot to say that trivia #7 was John Masefield and Sea Fever is the title, and yes once again Dana got that one-

You must be one of the biggest boats in that marina. On google maps, with the exception of a few, they all look like small open power boats.

Enjoy LA. Enjoy DL. Get Neil to drive you through the fashion/fabric district. It is mind blowing. It's just south of downtown LA.

Hugs

Ahhhh, now you're in sunny southern California! You are getting to be a long way from home now. Wish I was there - the snow on the north shore mountains is pretty, but I'll take a warm sunny beach anyday!

Have a great week in L.A. Pierre says hi - we miss you all.

What a life!!! Your Mom (my sister Wendy) asked me to let you know that she'll be back from the states on Thursday and will send you a message at that time. Hopefully it will be to tell you about all the money she and Ila won at the Casino in the states..haha. I'm going to be working 4am to 2pm shifts as a dispatcher for an airport shuttle company. Thursday will be my first 4am shift. I'll love it because you KNOW I'm a morning person.
So, bring on the next trivia question. I'm ready for it!!
Have a wonderful week in L.A. and don't give us and our snow a second thought.
Love and big hugs to you all,
Auntie Sandy

Have a great time at Disney - do everything, stay for the fireworks. If you can stay for Fantasmic - the light show on the water - brilliant show. Do the morning and afternoon parade - but stand in differant areas each time. Have a blast!
Love Teresa & family
