These shots of boats returning through the channel were taken at Outriggers, where we had delicious shrimp tacos!
These folks were sailing in - something we rarely did because Dad was always worried he wouldn't have enough control in such a tight area. We only "sailed in" when Ed was on board.
A view that I don't see very often, but is so familiar. I can still hear the lines clanking against the masts in the wind.
This is the "new bridge", but I still remember having to check the tide line and blow the air horn so they could raise the old draw-bridge if the tide was in and we were on a boat with a tall mast.
The shipyard office, where Dad "worked" many years to cover his slip rental fees.
As a former tenant for many years, I can say this place is horrible. The staff are very rude. They treat tenants like s#%t! They will raise your monthly rate or move you to a different slip without consulting you first. And if you don't like it they say "well get out of here then". The owner, Abb Fay inherited the place, so he has never had to work a day in his life. He treats working class people like dogs. Plus they don't even have half of the amenities they advertise on their website. GLAD to be out of that Hell hole!
