Camelot Comes Under Fire





Had a great time in Santa Barbara and heard about 2 nights free dockage at Oxnard so off we went to claim our night. Not much happening there so we just went shopping at Fry's electrical got a bit carried away and could hardly fit it all on the bike and in Neil's backpack for the 10 mile return cycle. Neil had a blow out on the way back and we didn't have a puncture kit. It was blow the tyre up and pedal as fast as possible and do it again until we arrived back at the boat. The tyres have now been upgraded to be more puncture resistant.

Left Oxnard and were just getting comfortable with our drinks etc when an orange inflatable boat appeared and came towards us to redirect us to follow two other sailboats five miles out as they were going to be firing missiles from the beach out 5 miles!!! What are we the targets!!.

Any way never heard or saw anything arrived at Marina Del Rey for more beach cycling and relaxation including riding another 10 miles to return most of our Fry's purchases, talk about changing our minds!!!

Based in the municipal Marina watching the rowing and races that occur past our stern
