Manhattan Clam Chowder Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

#1)  This would be from the first album "Electric Palm Tree."  Now it's a collectors item, but to be honest, it didn't sell worth a darn and haunted the band for years.  This was the painting on the side of the tour bus...

#2)  Jetski checking out the surf on Larry Dairy's side hack rig.  There must've been something to it since the surf was really fun and everyone had a good time.  It was overcast and we had 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light to non-existent out of the north.  The air was 65.5º and the water was a delightful 71.1º.  High tide was at 8:41am +4.9' and low tide was at 2:14pm +1.8'.  We have a SW swell out of 225º at 2.3' and it was 2' to 3' and if you were patient you could find a corner and get some traction through the flat spots in the middle... 

After a couple of sessions at Cardon, the band headed south to Mazatlán for a night on the town (#3).  Yes, this is the night that Capitan Donaldo doubled down on Wheatley's bet and got into the rooftop water feature with the glass bottom (to the floor below) naked.  After dinner it started to rain.  Then, there was the lightning and thunder and we were on the roof.   It rained 6 inches in four hours.  We had no choice, the only place left open was a titty-bar near Canons.  We ducked inside and when they recognized Chelé they asked him if we would do a number.  We played "Little Red Riding Hood," "Little Red Rooster," and "Little Red Corvette."  When we walked outside the water was over a foot deep going off the curb.  We walked/swam to the van and in the hour it took us to get back to Cardon all Wheatley could say was "Donnie had his beer in a coozy and his d..k was hanging out..."  It started out being funny and got funnier as he kept repeating it...

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
