What a great spot! This trip we got to anchor in the north end of the bay as opposed to the south side by the reef. There are campers here (and we met them as they kayaked and we went ashore for walking/exploring time). They are from Oregon, Colorado and Utah. Wish we had more time to organize a horse shoe tournament!

We checked out the cruiser's shrine-a tree that is decorated with stuff cruiser's have left behind. It reminded us of Shoe Tree on the 10? in California. Instead of all shoes though it's very interestingly decorated. Engraved rocks, pieces of drift wood or leftover teak, shells, lots of bottles with messages. A very interesting collection of art. So we had art day and made our own contribution. Hope we see it there next year (or at least at the end of the season so I can take a picture)! We did see lots of names that were familiar just from the nets but we did not find anyone from Ventura. Darn.....wanted to see what artistic Heather on Meerkat dreamed up.

What a great bay to walk. Lots of beach and rocks and even inland paths. This trip we've managed to walk 3 of the beaches. Maybe on the way back we can do the rest if we can park in the south end again.

Clouds blew through and we had a nice rainbow off the ocean and it actually sprinkled for a bit during the night. Much better than the tropical rains we got last winter!
