We had a leisurely drive down US 101 from Santa Barbara to
Corona del Mar. The portion through Los Angeles was as you would expect, but
the rest was pretty nice. We arrived in time to rest up a bit before going out
with Malcolm and Julie Read for dinner on Newport Harbor. The Read’s have a
Duffy boat. For those not acquainted with these craft, they are electric boats
meant for gentle cruises on calm waters like lakes and harbors. They are a
perfect fit for the Newport Harbor, and there are hundreds of them. That might
be an exaggeration, but not by much. They are pretty cool. Most are eighteen
feet long and have a surrey like top and roll-up sides. Great little boats! If
I lived on a lake I would want one.

| Lots of food. Lots of wine. Heaven! |

| Cupcakes! They were huge! |
After dinner we enjoyed a sunset view from Ocean Blvd. It
was clear enough to see Santa Catalina Island on the horizon. As you know it is
“Twenty-six miles across the sea…”
