While we were visiting my parents in Long Beach for the holidays, we took a boating trip and cruised in our Riva 50′ from Shoreline Marina in Long Beach, past San Pedro, up to Palos Verdes and back.
Though we never found the migrating whales we were searching for, we saw many interesting sights. Watch the video highlights below and see LA Harbor Light House (“Angel’s Gate”), Cabrillo Beach, South Shores San Pedro, Trump National, Point Vicente Light House, and Long Beach Harbor.
Make sure you watch the whole video (2 parts) to see the seal pod we found and listen for what mom wants to feed them!

This post was back dated to 12/29/2009 which was when the boating trip took place.
I had a hard time with this video editing project – my attempt to cut down from 20+ min. of video footage to under 10 min. was not successful. My computer and video editing software (tried 2) crashed multiple times, and I ultimately had to spend 20+ hours downgrading from Windows Vista to Windows XP (more stable platform).
This is officially the project from hell! After installing and uninstalling many codecs, video drivers, etc. my computer was up and running but I ended up having this video in 2 parts, done in different formats and video editing programs.
I decided to leave it alone after sinking so many hours into this project. Hope you enjoy watching it
