Our friends joined us about 7am for a quick breakfast of fresh fruit and quiche, juice and coffee. We untied the lines and started on our trip across the channel to Anacapa Island getting through the breakers was rough and quickly sent me down to the galley to put everything on the floor knowing that is where it was going to end up anyway.
The water was so rough and the crossing was very snotty (I think that is the technical nautical term) we pounded and rocked like crazy. Finally arriving at Anacapa Island we hurried to the backside finding a cozy little spot to anchor up for the first dive of the day. It was calm and hard to believe what the sea was like on the front side.

HERE ARE THE PICTURES SHOWING HOW NICE AND CALM THE WATER WAS WHERE WE WERE ANCHORED.
Our guests were
Dorothy Wakamatsu and her daughter Emillia...
Mark Rodgers and his son Blake
Mark Rodgers showing Blake how to open and clean a sea scallop.
I had a fun artsy moment and took this picture during my beer break before the long hard ride back to port.
The ride back to port was even worse than the crossing in the morning the wind was blowing over 20 knots and the waves were hitting us on our port side making Captain Mark have to manhandle is beloved Redemption to keep us on course.

Beautiful Photos Nana!!! So weird it was so poopy on the way there and back! (another nautical term) :) Have any Quiche left over??
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos and looks like a great adventure. How wonderful that you offer these charters for people to dive, fish, or just hang out on the ocean and eat your wonderful meals you offer. By the way, I never knew scallops were yellow when fresh. I'm learning something new each time I read your blog!
ReplyDeleteNice story. Chris is glad she was not on board.
ReplyDeleteEven at "snotty" ride on the Redemption is a barrel of fun. Any day on the Redemption is a great day!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen Captain Mark at his best manhandling of Redemption! ha! Love your pictures Nana Kay! That's the life!
ReplyDeleteAhh, makes us want to be out there again - although can we reserve a smooth ride?
