| Some good surf from the northern storms - thanks for the waves you northerners... |
We took a walk out to the beach this afternoon to see if the
surf met the forecasts. Now, the surf was high but it didn't look like 9 ft
waves coming in. On the other hand, there are shallows further out that we
could see the surf breaking on so some of the power was undoubtedly taken from
the incoming waves by the sand bank. Nevertheless, the waves were still
imposing and the beach was only one step away from being closed according to
the flags displayed at the lifeguard station. I'm sure that farther out, the
waves were every bit as big as predicted - so sailing would not have been a
pleasant experience.

On our way to the beach, there are several parking garages.
On Friday the cost was $10/day. On Saturday it rose to $20/day and today, on
Sunday, it was $30/day! I guess they just charge whatever the market will bear.
At the $20/day rate, several of the garages were full on Saturday so I guess
that led to the $30/day rate for Sunday. As usual, the beach was packed, wall
to wall people.
Monday is moving day. We're headed north to see Joe Mastri
and for Ann's doctor appointment with a pulmonary specialist for her cough -
which by now has gone away but we still want it looked into. It's 15 bridges to
Joe's!!
