I would like to see pictures of the areas that you call home! Where do you keep your boat? What is it like where you go daysailing? Where are your favorite places to go that are close to home, that you can head to for a overnighter or a weekend?
This is our home port, Deep Cove BC.
Because we are located on an inlet quite far inland past Vancouver, if we only have a night or two we usually head north, Further up Indian Arm where both our clubs have outstations. They are about 11nm from our dock.
As you might guess by the geography we do spend a lot of time sailing in light winds, and they can be very shifty so you have to pay attention and take advantage of lifts and headers.
Our Home port is Home, from our backyard in Oriental, NC.
We are on a creek looking out to the Neuse River. It is 5 miles wide at this point as it empties into the lower part of Pamlico Sound, behing the Outer Banks.
Some folks think my home port--the inner harbor at Mystic--is pretty as a picture, including the painter here, who came all the way from California for this view.
View from marina on Broad Creek towards Blounts Bay on Pamlico River. 25 miles to Pamlico Sound. 60 miles from marina across Pamlico Sound to Ocracoke.
Here is where I slip in Marina Del Rey, Ca. It is the West Los Angeles equivalent of Newport, sort of. MDR was converted from a muddy river inlet to an enormous small craft harbor by Howard Hughes in the early 1960's.
The red circle marks where my slip is. That is not my boat. Plenty of nearby parking and amenities.
Here we are approaching my slip. If you look just to the right of my mast, you'll see the SCCYC building, which is a three minute walk from my slip.
As close as we get to a home port;
Eleven months sailing and a month at our mooring in Honeymoon on Water Island in the VI. A couple of not so fancy bars on the beach and some fine partying on Sunday afternoons.
