We arrived in Ventura Monday afternoon after a slow trip in the fog. I mean FOG. We had to thread our way through the oil rigs that we couldn't see & those pesky buoys that you find on the GPS but never find in real life. We had a few power boats come out of the fog near us & Emrick had to hail one of them move over. Once we arrived & found the harbor boat yard we slid into the area for the travel lift & up we went (the pics show you how that goes). The yard started work the next day. The rudder was in fact very loose & I guess that is to be expected after 30 years of use. They allowed us to stay in the boat while the work was being done which saved us some $. The work is done & we will go back into the water today to test out all the repairs. While sitting "up in the air" on Friday some friends we met in Morro Bay showed up looking for us. We had a great visit with them that night & they moved on to Marina Del Ray on Saturday to meet up with us in Catalina. We will be leaving for Marina Del Ray early tomorrow, stay the night & then move on to Catalina Island Wednesday. We plan to spend the holiday weekend there & then move on to San Diego.

wow you guys are sure accomplishing a lot! And I love the picture! especially the one of the guy on the surf board with an ore, pretty crazy if you ask me. I bet you got a good laugh. Anyways the leaves are finally off the trees and hopefully I wont have to mow in the rain for awhile. Everything else is great, nothing new or exciting. :) Kristen
Hi Claudia,
It looks like you guys are having a blast and enjoying life! It is fun to look and see where you are traveling. I am enjoying student teaching in my first grade classroom and have been keeping extra busy with school. I am up in Butte Falls Elementary and love the small town area. I am wondering if you will please write me a letter of recommendation. I am starting to gather all my stuff because I will start applying for jobs after Christmas. I will keep you updated and would greatly appreciate it if you would write me a letter of recommendation. Have a great Thanksgiving and fun holidays on the boat. Thank you,
Ashley Sinclair
