Get Your Kicks On Route 66 Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Tarsan getting his kicks on Route 66 (#1) as he blasts through the southwest on his trip to physically avoid the Corona Virus by driving through vast tracks of desert and physically distancing himself from as many people as possible...  As near as we can tell, it's working like gangbusters...

Then there's Big Head Christian on the nose (#2).  All we know is that turning in that short a radius would be like riding the teacups at Disneyland and be followed by projectile emesis...

Another fun morning with a little more offshore to the tune of 5kts and a little bumpier playing surface.  Partly cloudy skies, clearing about 9am and 20 miles visibility.  The air was a warm 68 and the water is 67.3.  Low tide is at 10:01am +1.8' and high tide is at 6:07pm +4.7'.  We are enjoying a west swell out of 270º at 3.0' and it was just that with some bigger outsides.  Capitán Donaldo says that there are small craft advisories on the outer waters and we should have another day of similar surf!  We like that notion and are preparing to check it mañana...  Hope to see you!

Sara, Yoshi and LoLa eating outside (#3) and physically distancing this evening at Capt. Kidd's.  That didn't work so well for René and Susie (#4) from the Arizona section of Route 66.  They're still used to hugging and proximate socialization...  Let's see how that's working out for Arizona...

Meanwhile, the attire for robbing liquor stores has taken a dramatic turn with the introduction of masks, buffs and balaclavas.  Here (#5) we have two felons in the parking lot of Party House Liquors trying to find the front door.  This was compounded by the setting sun and the failing ambient light.  We understand that they decided to get back on their getaway bicycles and reschedule for next week...

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
