Left the dock at 8:00. Swell is hitting us sideways as we make our way out to the 3 mile line. Not very comfortable. At least it's clear and sunny with no fog. Lisa is in Los Angeles for work training. She gets the afternoon off and is going to look into meeting up with us this afternoon. It would be so great to see her!
Point Dume at Malibu, going by at 11:00
We saw a lot of dolphins today. They swim right for us and stay right in front of us.
Pretty cool huh?
Los Angeles from the water, a little smoggy.
Approaching Marina Del Rey Harbor, we were excited to see the Invictus anchored off of Venice Beach!
Invictus is owned by Billionaire developer Rick Caruso. Thanks to Kevin Clark for discovering out who the owner is for me. The owner just took delivery of this new ship in June, built by Delta Marine in Washington. There were several sighting of this mega yacht in June and July up in the Puget Sound area. I could see on AIS that we were very close to her when we were in Monteray Bay but we didn't get to see her. I am very excited to be able to see her now.
David drove right around her while she is anchored off the beach. Big crew quarters with lots of toy storage open in the back.
Invictus is 216 feet long, carries more than 50,000 gallons of fuel and has a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. Max speed is 16.8 knots. We could see someone, maybe Rick, running on the treadmill through the open window on the upper deck. The whole upper deck is for the owner with a huge master stateroom, salon and office and gym. This pleasure boat also has a theater, a dining table for 20, a large sun deck and spa and a fold down beach cabana. There are accommodations for a crew of 22.
She is a beauty!
Coming into Marina Del Rey
This place is huge!
We will moor for a a couple of nights there in front of Burton W Chace park.
Yay! Lisa came to hang out with us for the afternoon and evening.
While we were enjoying cocktails, a non-stop parade of sailboats sailed right in front us. You can see the Invictus across the channel, moored now at the fuel dock.
Lisa took this shot later as the sun was going down. Good shot Lisa!
Lisa took this picture of us going out for dinner. Beautiful sunset.
Our ride to dinner, Lisa's little red Versa rental, isn't she cute?
Awe, fun dinner at Yardhouse.
Thanks for coming to see us Lisa!!!!
