Well, we did it again. Two trips to "the island" in two weeks. Just like the good old days. Maybe these really are the good old days. We left the marina Friday morning, but being there were reports of bad weather over at the island, we went and anchored at Oil Island White in LB Harbor once again. Yah, yah, I know. What us wusses in So. Cal. call "bad weather" most people call Tee shirt weather. So be it. Even so, it did blow like hell in LB. So I'm glad we stayed there. Anyway, Saturday we got under way early and motored over to the island.
We anchored in 65 feet of water just east of White's Cove up against the cliffs, and there we stayed. It was very nice. Peaceful and quiet. Sunday morning we sailed back. About 8 miles out of Alimitos Jetty, we came up on a very huge whale that we recon was a Fin Whale. Huge thing and very close. About 40 feet. He, or she, was not at all intimidated by us. We were under sail and as we drew very close I did alter course to the left to keep a bit of respectable distance. I'm ready to go back any time now.
