Great coverage. My home marina for 50 years so far!
My first job was driving the BYC shore boat during the summers taking folks out to their boats in that mooring field. A lot of good memories. Not a bad paycheck for hauling people back and forth too on beautiful days! Its also where I learned to master docking solo since I did something like 20 trips a day! Cheers, Casey
Great info. We’ve sailed in and out of Newport Beach, but never stayed over night. Also check out Dana Point. Two anchorage areas and you can stay for five days. Lots of restaurants and scenery.
Thanks for the great info! We spotted Triteia (noticed from your dingy signage) docked 1-1/2 (?) weeks ago on a Sunday at public docks at Marina del Rey. I noticed Wifi in the park so we thought you were probably uploading video. ;) Next morning checked out the newest 'Rippers Cove' video. Love all the local sailing info... catch you on the water!
Very informative thank you
I love this series. I hope to read the book one day!,
All the best Richard
This is great. Thank you
Great info. Thanks!
I'm really enjoying this series. Very helpful, thank you!
Ever think about grabbing the mooring ball from amid ship? I think it would be less distance from the side to the ball than the bow.
Nice boat and excellent information! Thanks
Hey James. Don't think your old videos get outdated. We are on our way south from the Seattle area and really bennefited from your vids on marinas and anchorages around southern CA. Although Marina Del Rey was a very dirty county run marina the park and surroundings wer great... not to mention the fantastic water pressure in the showers... something a cruiser can appreciate. There was a boat of south pacific islanders in town so entertainment and great dancing and music.Thanks so much and keep on keepin on. Cheers.
Happy to hear the videos helped 👍🏻
This is very helpful thanks!
Great information, I've enjoyed Anchorage #2 also. Skipping the downsides is a video thing , I guess: So......
The locals made a point of waking me in Anch#2 with their large power boats, I assume because they thought I was NOT in an anchorage.
Also, in the Newport area, the bigger boats often assume the right of way, and racers also assert right of way regardless of ColRegs
Good things to keep in mind and stay safe in a very busy and affluent harbor.
Awesome
Thanks for the good info James. I avoided Newport Beach and went to Island White in Long Beach last time I went up the coast. I'll check out Newport's new anchorage next time. Now It's all boat projects and little sailing until I depart for Mexico for a few years. I was confused by the short "Half Way to Hawaii video". I thought you recently sailed off in peak hurricane season.
When I had my A30 and using a mooring ball and solo sailing I always used a long bow line and came up to the ball at the cockpit main sheet location looping through the eye and cleated off. when all secure I then secured at the bow with a second line.
Newport harbor is a good place to visit. I usually wind up at the bar at the rusty pelican ⛵️⛵️⛵️👍👍
Reminds me of my stay at the public moorings in New London, CT. Never leave my boat there again.
Digesting boats is the business
Great video and info! Thank you, I am planning to buy a intex excursion 5 just to cruse around Newport harbor, what are your thoughts on that? also any info as to where I could launch something like that in the harbor would be greatly appreciated.
I wanna see Long Beach /Naples edition of this!!
I did stay in Long Beach around that time and filmed an episode but the footage was lost on a crashed hard drive 😞
@@SailorJamesoh no! But, maybe now u got more reason to come back here in LBC 😉
😂😂😂
I read about the rudder trouble. I read some guys lost their rudder and dragged a bucket off stern as a steering drougue on either side to make headway????
I have anchored at the original Anchorage many times. Always a shit show. Excited to try the new Anchorage in the turning basin.
Good stuff. Would you ever consider making a shared google map or mapbox map with all of this info at the different harbors you’re documenting? Pretty valuable info that could be great as a destination on the web.
No but I update a lot of info on the Navionics app which is the standard app for boats
@@SailorJames yeah I noticed that a bit ago. Good stuff
Dude ...Mr.Stedie said if you drank Beer he was going too mark his territory because that "Cone" around his heck from the Veterinary office ...although if you offer a few treats He'd be square...
Just keep sailing my dude
I like you boat
Cut Throat Harbor.
Awesome
