Marina del Rey, our Introduction to L.A


Sunday, October 16

I biked out early for an Oxnard farmers’ market reconnaissance in preparation for dinner at Marina del Rey with my cousin Steve and his partner Jeannine. Fantastic blueberries, strawberries and greenstuff plus rockfish right off the boat.

Our arrival in Marina del Rey coincided with the height of Sunday afternoon activity. The entrance was completely full of boats. We could see why they’ve legislated three lanes between the breakwaters! The center lane is for boats that are sailing in (with spinnakers) or short tacking out. Or, in the case of the UCLA sailing team, practicing their buoy rounding in short races.

At the dogleg we got our first glimpse of L. A. whimsy with the colorful shoreline village showing typical Los Angelinos' coastal living.
