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...

Lost Boys & Co... M any of you might not remember "Turkey John," (#1) but he was a local fixture for many years.  He was quite the ogler and would endeavor to get into conversations with young ladies.  When they wouldn't yak with him he'd say "You're a turkey!"  Then they'd say "NO!  You're a turkey!"  It just got to a point where people would yell out, "Hey Turkey!" A beautiful day in Turkeyland with unlimited visibility and light offshore winds.  Temps this morning were 55.0 º  in the air and 64.4 º  in the water.  Low tide was at 8:06am +3.3' and high tide follows at 1:18pm +4.3'.  It's a 2.0' swell out of the WSW and it was 1' to 2' but cute like in photo #2... H appy Thanksgiving and we'll see you manana! ✠   "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
