Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... Y es, you too can look 76 years old!  All you have to do is hang around in the sun, surf and eat yogurt.  You can thank Brendan (#1) for revealing their secret... T en miles visibility under a marvelous hazy summer sun.  Winds were strong offshore 2 to 7kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 67.9 º  and the water is 71.6 º  (Go for a dip NOW!)  High tide was at 5:41am -1.3' and low tide follows at 12:13pm +4.5'.  It's a west swell out of 262 º  at 3.3' and it was a solid 3' and got better with the rising tide... F amous for ramming boats in the Mediterranean, this Orca (#2) rammed the board hanging in the den at Mar y Fuego...  Investigation is ongoing... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... "T he only machine I ever understood was a wheelbarrow, and that imperfectly." E.T. Bell A  beautiful morning this (#1) and to our surprise there were some bumps!  9 miles visibility under a hazy sun and winds were light onshore 1 to 3kts, but not enough to rough things up.  The air was a balmy 67.3 º  and the water was a sparkling 70.2 º .  Low tide was early at 5:00am -1.6' and high tide was at 11:32am +4.4'.  Those bumps we encountered were from the 260 º  west swell at 3.0'.  It was all that and maybe a bit bigger on the outsides! B een having some great sunsets.  This was last night (#2) as we watched this boat glide by in time to make it to the harbor before sundown... "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... T en years ago when we gathered at Brother's (#1) we all thought 70 was old.  Now Capitan Donaldo Congrejo (center) is turning 80 and making it look like 60.  Not easy keeping up with the Capitan.  Happy Birthday to our mentor and go-to hero... P artly cloudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were variable on-shore 2 to 5kts and the sea surface had a distinct bump.  The air temperature at checkout was 67.0 º  and the water is 69.8 º .  High tide was at 10:51am +4.2' and low tide will be at 3:31pm +2.0.  But at 9:48pm the tide is going to be a +7.0' and will be a bit higher than this shot (#2) we took of the Topaz Jetty last night.  If you're brave you could try paddling over the rocks!  We have a SSW swell out of 198 º  at 2.3' and it was trying, but not quite making it.  If...

Lost Boys & Co... T he man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck. Bernie Charles Forbes W e talked to this guy who drove his Land Rover off the ferry (#1) and we jokingly said, "Thought you could drive that thing across!"  He said in an almost impenetrable accent, something that sounded like, "We did that going over and we had to take an haddock outta the air cleaner." C loudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds out of the south 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was tacked up.  The air temperature was 67.0 º  and the water is 69.3 º.  High tide is at 10:11am +4.0' and low tide will be at 2:38pm +2.2'.  Swell is out of the SSW 192 º  at 2.3' and it was half that and ankle breakingly perfect... W ent from one side of Lock Ness to the other and #1. Saw NO monster.  #2. There was this b...
