Sunset sail

We went for drinks this evening with artist Mick Bacich and his photographer wife, Pam, in their harbourfront beachhouse on the Newport peninsula. This is the view from their living room, and that is their boat, on which we hope to go whale spotting next week.

Mick showed us some of his work in his artist's studio before taking us on a tour of the harbor at sunset (today's extra) on their electric boat (just to the left of the big one). We passed John Wayne's house, and another that used to belong to Nicolas Cage, before we docked at the Yacht Club for dinner. Afterwards, we ate chocolate covered strawberries as Mick navigated us by the light of an almost full moon to a public dock near our rental house on Balboa Island. A truly magical evening.
