Sept 14: Marina Del Rey

Well, the day here is a time for repairs and other things.  Les went to work on the outboard motor on the raft.  Dennis went to work on fixing up the boom to better support the reefed sail.  Vicki spent time cleaning clothes and I worked on updated the blog.   Not having transportation certainly hampers doing things quickly.  Les and Dennis had to walk over 5 miles getting the things they needed.   They went from one shop to another getting a carb rebuilt kit.  Finally, by the end of the day everything was completed.   We then headed off to find an Italian restaurant as Les said he needed carbs (surprising to none).  Well, after walking most of Venice area (3-4 miles), we finally found THE place.  Everybody enjoyed their food before we made our long walk home.
