Surf Report - May 14, 2003
====================================================================
This is the place I tried to surf - but there were about 100,000 shoulder-hoppers ahead of me - Thanks Cal Trans!
======================================================================
What I say:
Wednesday -
The saddle sores I earned yesterday, courtesy of the Silver Stallion, weren't too bad, so -
Off to WindanSea again -
But One -
Dawdled along the coast - still a wayyyy south swell, really showing its size north of Grandview Street, no hurry - the tide's still too high.
But II -
I was in the lot at Seaside, checking the waves at Table Legs, when a friend of
mine asked me if I were headed south.
- of course I was -
"Well," he said "you better get going - ALL of the north and southbound lanes at the 805 and 5 merge are closed"
- that's about 16 lanes - stopped - at rush hour!
I'm moving to Erehwon!
Most of San Diego County's roads were virtually shut down.
Oceanside to Chula Vista, La Jolla to El Cajon.
It took me almost 90 minutes, starting at 6:30 AM, to get to my office from Seaside - about a 10 mile drive.
No surfing for me today!
Later,
BA

Oops Forgot Some Stuff:
Thought I'd better add some disclaimers:
* All of the tales I'm spinning are based upon facts of some sort.
* Most of the tales will be at least 50% factual.
I'm doing this web thing for a few reasons, and it is, and will be, "a work in progress" for a while:
1. It's an easy way for me to organize my "autobiography" so my kids will know a bit more about me.
2. I find this computer and internet stuff fascinating.
3. I was lucky to be able to start surfing - at least in my opinion - in the "Golden Age" of surfing - I do have some yarns to spin regarding those times.
4. This is an efficient way for some of the old guys to touch bases again - I've received a few e-mails from old (err, long-time) friends I've haven't seen in forty years or so - I think that's way cool.
5. I'm still surfing almost every day - and, at least in my opinion - that's a pretty "boss" thing to write about.
6. I think it will be nice, in a couple of years, to maybe look back at how good - or bad - the surf was in any given stretch of time.
