Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... So here we are near Berchtesgaden Germany and we're getting ready to do the tour of the salt mines and the "Hitler" tour, which might be one and the same.  We just had brekky at a cute little cafe that looked like Hansel & Gretel had just pulled off a couple of candy canes and had started on the gingerbread.  In the photo you see the bread basket that comes with the meal.  My breakfast actually came with beer, which they generously let me switch to coffee… Maybe manana on the beer… Ahh no. Generously using the interweb, we've determined that low tide is at 9:11am +2.4' and high tide is at 2:20pm +3.8'.  The water temp is 64.0 and the air is 60.0 and heading up to 72!  Quite summery.  The surf is 1' to 2' out of the SSW and if we were you we'd go for a paddle and some coffee.  Or Ht Chocolate!  Brother's now has hot chocolate… "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... Just when you thought it was good to go back into the Christmas market, they stopped charging for the mugs and let you take them for free.  Most places charge 5euros for the mugs and you get it back when you're through.  Of course we had to work on the entire set.  Here is LoLa headed for another mug.   Beef in all forms from steak and veal to roasts is popular, but they go crazy for piggy!  Sausages, wursts and various knuckles, feet and organ meats are on the menu.  The professor had chicken liver soup and proclaimed it delicious… "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... Headed to Lake Konigsee to see the amazing trout and eat them at the island restaurant.  In the photo we have at least two ski runs (closed because it hasn't snowed enough yet) and Berchtesgaden hidden by the tree where Adolf hung out with his sweetie Eva. More later… "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... N o, that's all wrong!  We'll be munching in Munich as we begin our tour of Southern Germany over the next few weeks.  The report will be sporadic, but we'll try to fill you in on the high points (some of which will be in the Alps.)  But first... A beautiful clear morning with 15+ miles visibility and not a cloud in the sky.  Winds were light offshore 2 to 4kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air at checkout was 48.9 º  and the water is holding at 64.6 º .  High tide was at 5:49am +5.9' and low tide will be at 12:43pm +0.1' setting up for some afternoon minus tides the rest of the week.  It's a pounding WSW swell pout of 2561 º  at 3.3', but it's bigger in the surfline with some outsides at 6'.  Take a look at this left that Jackson Owens snagged (#1).  You had to be patient but there were some zippers... P erfect for wearing in the Lobster Lounge (#2).  Dylan M. sporting some classic crustacean slipp...

Lost Boys & Co... I f you look closely you can see the dense fog bank covering most of the Avenues (#1).  Meanwhile, Hermosa was clear as a bell.  Maybe 20 miles visibility and no clouds in the sky.  Winds were steady out of the ESE at 2 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a fog driven 47.9 º  and the water is 64.6 º .  Low tide was at 9:50am +2.8' and high tide follows at 2:56pm +4.0'.  It's still that persistent SSW swell out of 209 º  at 2.0' and it was about half that on the beach.   10 years ago this week we were in Cuba chasing rum, cigars and the odd jelly fish.  (#2) Here we have a view of "Bajia de Cochinos" better known here as "The Bay of Pigs."  We found some of the best snorkeling we've ever encountered.  It was so pristine due to the fact that there haven't been that many tourists, they hadn't dynamited the reef to make a harbor and there aren't that many people on that side of the islan...
