In many of California marinas, they are so rapt with their "clean marina" status that they put these very bright dye pills in our toilets so we couldn't soil the environment during our stay. The idea is, when you flush, this bright pink or irridescent green surrounds your boat so everybody knows that you were bad. I suppose there's a rather large fine that goes with it too.
This shot was taken as we flushed while leaving their clean and green marina.
Not too sure what Chuck sees in those things, but he sure liked looking through them.
He turned out to be pretty good with a camera too. This dolphin shot is among the best we've gotten. See more under the surface too. How many do you count?
As Claudia already mentioned, we've been having nothing but trouble with our internet connection. That means that I could be cut off at any time, so, I'll post what we have so far and leave it at that.
Probably going to leave very late tomorrow (Monday) night for the 250 mile leg to Turtle Bay - the next secure anchorage. Overall, we have nearly 700 miles to go before we would be able to tie IRIE up to a dock again. (That would be Cabo San Lucas) We set her up to live at anchor as many of you know. Still, not having done that trick yet, we're a bit apprehensive when we see the kind of storms that keep parading by.
Even though it's warmer here than at home, it's not the way we remember it. With temps in the low 50's at night and lately around 70 when the sun is up, we've been wishing we had kept the portable heater aboard. Anyway, that's just one more reason to get off our butts and head South.
