Friday April 24
Departed Island White by 9am. The plan is sail out a ways away from all this red tide, as we need to make water.
By 5pm we arrived at our destination, Redondo Beach.
For dinner Joy made pasta in Alfredo sauce with sautéed vegetables and chicken sausage.
As we’re sitting in the cockpit after dinner, at anchor, we saw a few boats go by with what looked like lights underneath them. Then we realized it was bioluminescence! The best we’ve seen! The water literally sparkled, when fish swam by they were streaks of light. Dan swirled a deck pole in the water. (be sure to listen to the conversation.) 😃

You said you had to sail out away from all the red tide, to make water. What makes it Red Tide?

Not as red as in the Wiki pictures, yet massive patches of the “red tide” out here.

Lived three blocks up from the beach when I was in 1st and 2nd grade. Up the hill. I guess you still can not go ashore to walk.

Contracted a flat bed truck to deliver to a center in NJ. Worked out just fine.

Thanks, we’ve met several people on our journey who are shipping their boats home, then flying back.

Hi guys, if you can get ashore at Redondo Beach, try Captain Kidd’s, Susan worked a project nearby and we became regulars at Kidds,, GREAT seafood.

Only stayed one night, didn’t go ashore, but we’ll keep that in mind if we pass by again.
I’m not flying home to see the baby, the new parents requested we don’t come because of the pandemic. Understandable.
