Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... T ime passes when you're having fun!  Yes, it's been a year since Brother's opened their second location in the Hollywood Riviera (#1).  It's the perfect spot to go to when Hermosa is having a Fiesta,  a parade, a volleyball tournament or a Santa Claus convention!  ...Or if you don't have enough gas to get to Hermosa! I t's a hot one with temperatures currently in the low 80's.  Hazy skies with 15 miles visibility.  Winds are calm and the sea surface is smooth.  The ocean temperature is an amazing 63.5 º.  High tide was at 9:26am +5.4' and low tide will be at 3:46pm -0.3'.  It's a 2.3' SSW swell out of 198 º  and it was breaking on the sand, except in Manhattan where Doc managed to talk the Professor into surfing the north side of the pier.  Some lulls with ear ticklers coming through.  Amazing how quickly the beach comes up in those situations... D onnie week continues with him and LoLa deep inside the Py...

Lost Boys & Co... M aybe the hottest St. Patrick's Day we've ever had in the South Bay.  At the time of this writing we had a scorching 88 º  after a low of 59.0 º  at checkout.  This was unlike yesterday when the fog rolled in (#1) and this research vessel got close to running aground. Hazy sun and 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore and the sea surface was calm.  The sea temperature is 62.4 º  and might warm up a couple of clicks with the hot sun.  High tide was at 8:49am +5.5' and low tide will be at 3:21pm -0.5'.  There's a 2.6' SSW swell out of 201 º  and it was slapping the sand at 1'. C apitan Donaldo Update:  A lot better today after getting more electrolytes and boosting his blood volume.  He saw his doctor and got good reviews.  He also saw Doc and resisted taking a nap with him!  Also, a lot of folks were concerned that there still might be some outstanding costs related to his return. ...

Lost Boys & Co... F oggies this morning with little visibility depending on your 10/20.  Even less wind and we assume calm seas.  The air temperature was 57.0 º  and the water is 61.3 º  and a couple of clicks warmer if you believe the chalkboard on the pier.  High tide was at 8:12am +5.4' and low tide will be at 2:56pm -0.6'.  It's a 2.6' SSW swell out of 192 º  making it 1' on the sand. U pdate on Capitan Donaldo:  Word is that he is doing better and working on getting further hydrated.  Too soon to know if this includes cerveza.  Doc watched him yesterday and managed to coax him into a shared nap...  Here's (#1 & #2) a couple of shots of him at "8 Balls" in Nicaragua.  Fast left curls and he was burning things up... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... A nother perfect summer day in the Southland and it's not even Spring yet... officially. Initially cloudless, visibility was 20 miles and winds were offshore 2 to 3kts.  The air temp was 60.0 º  and the water is 60.4 º.  High tide was at 6:00am +4.4' and low tide will follow at 1:35pm +0.0'.  It's a 3.3' SSW swell out of 195 º  and got better as the tide got lower.  W e've been waiting all week to give a more comprehensive report on Donnie and his travails in Mexico.  Turns out he had a severe case of the touristas and this caused him to become dehydrated.  In the midst of one of his bathroom breaks, he fainted, fell and hit his head.  Out for who knows how long, he finally made it back to bed and the next day the lady who runs the place was concerned he didn't come down.  She went up to his room and found him unconscious and unresponsive.  They found his passport and called his daughter, but apparently she was...
