Newport, CA

We just had a great downwind (!) sail from Alamitos Bay to Newport. There was only about 10kn of wind, but we still made an average of around 4kn boatspeed. We sailed alongside "Icarian" the whole way, which was a nice confirmation that our big heavy boat really isn't as slow as it seems sometimes! We're anchored out for the night, then have reservations at the guest dock at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club for a couple nights. After that we'll probably hightail it down to Mission Bay (just north of San Diego) to meet Kellie's mom, who's coming down to visit this weekend. It's sunny and warm - I wore shorts and a t-shirt all day! The water is still cold... about 63F, so no swimming (on purpose) yet.
