Time To Get Out Of Turkey Thursday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

From the vault, SeaWolf sent us this great shot (#1) of the boys at the Ranch near Troncones at Enrramada Daysi.  From L. to R.: Bill, T.J., Danger Boy, SeaWolf, Joe Murph...  In those days it was a big deal there if anyone else was out in the water...

Cloudy this morning with 2 miles visibility, clearing as the morning warmed up.  Winds were offshore by 2.2kts and the sea surface was smooth.  Air temp 63.2 and the water is 65.3.  High tide was at 9:51am +6.1' and low tide follows at 4:34pm -0.1' for your clam digging pleasure.  We have a perfectly suitable SW swell out of 223º at 3.0'.  It was 2' to 3' with the makeable corner anywhere near Bobby Warchola...

The Turks have a bizarre (not bazaar) way of having fun.  It's an offshoot of Frisbee® golf.  The main difference is that you ride in the Frisbee (#2).  Fun, but you get dizzier than shit...

One more food shot (#3).  They cook your lamby-kins in a crockery pot and then crack it open right in front of you!  They also do chicken and beef, but the lamb is the ticket...  Kinda melt-in-your-mouth tender...

We already did the bizarre, bazaar joke, but here (#4) we have the Professor dodging the rug merchants and taking in the atmosphere deep in the bazaar waiting for LoLa to decide on just the right color of scarf...  You should note that for 500 years they have done just fine without any ATM's in the bazaar and they still haven't gotten around to installing them in convenient spots.  In fact there is only ONE and it looks like a Coke™ machine from 1955...

We'll leave with a water shot from the island of Cyprus (#5).  The visibility was incredible and we ran into clouds of small smelt-like fishies.  We just floated there for awhile and became part of the scenery...  This was also the warmest water we encountered and it must have been 82...

Take one for the team!  Laurel Tavern, 5:30 Friday and make some noise for the Doyers...

Lost Boys & Co... P rofessor, This is a shot taken last week at a secret spot that is less than 30 miles away from you guys. Any guesses?  My buddy Dave sent it from Salta Verde Point on the backside of Catalina. Only accessible by boat or if you know someone with the key. Tip: The guy in the pic is the guy with the key! Sea Wolf... S o, apparently if you decide to leave Avalon and head to the backside you might score on a south swell.  For some reason this place looks like there might be some rocks on the inside.  No indications of that other than the boils following the guy with the key... C loudless skies this morning with 20+miles visibility.  Winds were off to 2.2kts and the sea surface had a residual bump that held all day.  The air temperature was 79.3˚ and the water was 66.4˚, apparently affected by the wind and upwelling.  High tide was at 6:55am +3.9' and low tide will be at 11:46am +2.8' for a little less than a foot differential.  There's a SW swell out of

Lost Boys & Co... S ancho, on this morning's Sruf Familia thread said it best, "Somber rainy day for Jimmy."  J immy Buffett died Friday, September 1.  He was 76 years old and had recently been struggling with health issues.  A Lost Boy of the first order his music was the sound-track for our lives. B ut he might have said it best: "But there's one particular harbor/ So far yet so near/ Where I see the days as they fade away/ And finally disappear." S ail on Jimmy Buffett and we hope on the corner of that one particular harbor there's a wave that you can surf through eternity.  Aloha Jimmy... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... W ho's behind those Foster-Grants?  Well, we'll bet that he's NEVER worn a pair of F-G's.  Are those Oliver People's?  Cartier's, Garrett Leight's?  We'll say Tom Ford's and he should be their poster boy.  Yep, it's Jetski in the arena at the US Open.  Looking rather trim in his court-side togs, we're waiting for his description of the action... W e continue our assault on some of the smallest waves ever ridden!  We'll have to check the Guinness book, but we think we're on to something.  So it was ten miles visibility under partly cloudy skies and winds were offshore by 5 to 7kts.  The3 air temp was 63.9º and the water was 70.7º at the ever popular #46221 Santa Monica Buoy.  High tide was at 11:01am +5.5' and low tide follows at 4:52pm +0.7'.  It turns out we observed that low tide and even with the afternoon south wind howling around 10kts, Sapphire still looked fairly smooth.  We had a south swell out o
