Marina del Rey

Palm trees in the sky!  Cool shot. Rp

I had never seen so many boats, yachts, and ships all in one place in all of my life! This is only one very small section of the dock, and there where hundreds of docks and thousands of boats! Wow what a sight! 

I took this photo and the next photo while walking to dinner at Tony P's Dockside Grill. The food was excellent!

Same area just look to the right of the blue tarp. Rp

Marina del Rey, I have heard of the place for years, but I had never been there. Now I have! Just south of Venice Beach and just north of LAX. Totally different than the Central Coast but beautiful in it's own way. This was our view out of our hotel window. We stayed at the Marina del Rey Hotel.

Same location, just a different area. Rp 

This is just one of many teams of rowers that Pam and I saw. I was amazing how quite and smooth the boat was. Some did chants or songs to the rhythm of the rowing. Sometimes the coach sitting on the far end (on the right) would call out instructions. It looks like he had the best job and better scenery looking forward instead of backwards. Rp

I just liked the colors and the type of boat. Very Nice! It may have been a fishing boat judging by the net poles in the back, but it was far different than the rugged fishing boats of Morro Bay. Once again, nice boat. Rp

This is a different view of the harbor looking north. The tall building is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel about $379.00 plus per night.  I guess, If you can afford a yacht, I am sure you can afford to stay here. Rp 

You cannot tell in this photo, but in the bow of this yacht, there is a wedding going on and later the wedding reception. See next photo. Rp

There's the wedding I was referring to. It sure is nice to be able to ZOOM in. Rp

When I see a sail boat, I just keep hearing Christopher Cross's song SSSSSSAAAAAAAiiiiiiLLLLLLLLiiiiiiNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!! "SAILING" Rp

This one almost got by me. Rp 

Our room was the second balcony from the left on the top floor. A great view. Rp

The gazebo in the evening. Rp

Sunset at the gazebo. Rp

Just a nice sunset on the clouds and palm trees. Rp

Same sunset and boat just flowers in the foreground. This a vertical shot. Rp
