Oceanside

Completed 52nm passage from Long Beach to Oceanside. We departed Alamitos Bay in light fog before turning south into San Pedro Channel then were greeted by dozens of dolphins in the Gulf of Santa Catalina.

Upon entering Oceanside Harbor, we found our assigned slip was occupied so we temporary tied up in a commercial ship while the Oceanside Harbor Police (who offer after hours support for the Marina) resolved the issue and helped move us into our slip.

Oceanside is great… a nice walkable beach town with friendly people and lots of good food. Got our steps in exploring the harbor, downtown and the pier (one of the longest on the west coast).

Emme learned she does not like sea lions, specially when they get too close to her boat.
