Welcome to.....Baja? Nope, this is Southern California​. We had an itch to scratch, so we set our tents on the beach and rubbed some sand in it. It's October now—it's getting late in the calendar, but I try not to know what day of the week it is...the weather doesn't seem to know either–it still looks like summer here. No amount of long-pants, plastic red leaves, and pumpkin lattés can change that. I recently attended a lecture where an old timer told stories of the history of surfing in Southern California. He said, "We used to bring a jug of wine and camp on the beach with our girls. We'd surf until after dark and never see a single person all day. Too bad there's no place you can do that in Southern California anymore." Ha! But he makes a good point. Beach access isn't just about being able to step on the sand, it's about being able to explore what it means to be a little less robot, and a little more human.

"Sailing is dangerous...some never return." We climbed aboard a beat up sailboat with a few friends and took to the seas for an golden afternoon....I'm now thiiiiis much closer to getting my own live-a-board sailboat. The rent for the slip is only 1/5th of what I pay for my apartment!
