The harbor is surroundedby lovely green hills, almost mountains on the land side, with the city tucked at the base. The water is calm, peaceful and we slept for a couple days. Our time there was a time for being with family and friend
s, of long standing. Lois is on the outside, her friend Sylvia and her daughter Carol - Lois is my sister from my father's first marriage. We met years ago in Hawaii, and again in Scottsdale and were blessed to be with her and also the nephew I had not met before, her son Steve. How lovely to find new family.

How lovely to find new family.We had previously written about elegant SB harbor being brought to a lower level by our wet laundry, but my friend Barbara did the laundry while we napped and tried to get some energy back after the long slog down.Barbara and I have been friends since Bremerton, Washington, which is a long time
ago, and I had encouraged her to go to Hawaii. The rest is history and lovely history at that. We have found each other at times, in strange places without knowing that we would see each other.

The boat to the right may have trouble getting out to sail as it is full of vegetables growing all over it. A bit of charm in the harbor or denial.
Robert said the leaving is the hard part and that he likes the arriving.
We hear that from cruisers all the time - and it is awful to leave and not know when you will see dear friends again. Dick and Robert talk boats and share memories of adventures in Hawaii.

Leaving Santa Barbara was difficult but we don't say good bye, but aloha to Barb & Dick and given our crazy schedule, who knows when we will be back. Their house sheltered us this past January when that wild storms blew in and life on the boat in Alameda was asthma central.
Leaving SB to Oxnard this AM - we saw dolphins playing in the flat water, oil rigs and traffic on 101, We are tucked in at Anacapa Isle marina
and resort...sauna, anyone?
Bye, Santa Barbara, hello Oxnard/Channel Islands.
