We left Newport Beach at approx. 4 am on the 9th of June heading out to Avalon harbor. As usual it was a uneventful trip as we motored the entire way. We had 7 people aboard for the trip to Avalon including 4 teenage girls and 3 adults. We then picked up two more guests that had taken the express over on Wednesday which brought the total aboard to 9 for the rest of the trip. Needless to say it was a full house on the Chrokeva.
Once we arrived at Avalon we met up with more friends from Chrokeva's sistership the Teal Sea. We spent several nights enjoying the hospitality of Craig and Debbie from Teal. Spending time at Teal Sea also had the added advantage that the teenagers stayed on Chrokeva while the adults enjoyed there time at Teal Sea. Nothing like a little space :)
On Thursday we motored over to Emerald Bay which is a rather remote but beautiful anchorage. We were amazed to be able to see the bottom at a depth of 30 feet! We were able to anchor with a bow and stern anchor right next to Teal Sea. What a sight it was to see two CT54's anchored together in this wonderful place.
On Saturday morning it was time to pull anchor and sail home. The weather was good as we had 20 knots on the stern almost the entire trip back.
