Hey Sam,

Sounds great, we are looking forward to many more weekends there!

Yes, I wore a full 7mm wetsuit. I didn't wear a hood, but I would
recommend
one in winter.

We didn't bring a dinghy on this trip. But next time I think we will.
There's a sandy patch just to the left of the pier (rocks elsewhere). So
you can probably lift the motor when you get close and paddle the rest of
the way in. The restaurant is good, but you'd definitely get wet when
landing the dinghy.

I'd enjoy hearing about your trip, please let me know how it goes. What's
the name of your boat?

Our next trip is Catalina the weekend of March 13. We're going to leave
MDR
on Friday and sail to Avalon. Saturday we're going to participate in a
10K
run. We'll sail back on Sunday. Weather permitting of course.

It would be great fun to get a couple of boats and raft together at
Paradise
Cove some weekend. There are a couple of moorings there, but I'm not sure
if they're available for public use?

Brien, my boat is Friend Ship II. It's a Coronado 25' and is docked at
A-2104 in MDR. I have a couple other friends from our sailing club in MDR
who would probably also be interested in joining up with their boats on an
overnight cruise to Paradise Cove. Maybe we can make it a group cruise. If
this is something you'd like to talk about, why don't you email me at


We're planning on sailing over to the Isthmus at Catalina for Cinco de Mayo
weekend.
