My O’Day 22 Sailboat Blog

Last weekend I took the Walker Bay dinghy home and rinsed her down a little. This little boat is pretty great. Since its completely made of plastic it means it will be around years after I kick it. A little garden hose cleaned it right up after a few months of neglect in dry storage. The O’Day is not so fortunate as I have had to spend a couple of days getting her ready for the summer. Even then there are still some more work to do before she will be ready.

I decided to take the dingy out for a little row in the harbor while I had a couple hours free on Sunday afternoon. The Ventura harbor is relatively small but has a pretty decent shopping right along the docks. I rowed between the banks and the boat docks right next to the restaurants and shops and saw some cool photo ops. Here are some I decided to share with you.

Look at these cute little swallows in a nest under the gangways!!

I pulled up to the public fishing dock at Marina Park at the other end of the harbor and took a photo of the dinghy. The boat docks near the center is owned by the city of Ventura and they offer both adult and youth sailing programs.
