on August 10, 2010
Photo: Matthieu Thibaud, by Jason Gould 8-10-10 Nice weekend finally! Anybody notice the zone at Aliso is steadily shrinking?

Zero Trash at Vic this Saturday 10 – 12
on August 6, 2010
Zero Trash is a grassroots, Laguna born, group that picks up trash on their adopted streets and beach on the first Saturday of each month. It is a kick. By adopting a whole street you get to regularly meet the neighbors on your street, and the beach below it, that care enough to help keep […]
2 Beef Tacos please.
on August 5, 2010
8-5-10 Regular as can be, 10am rolls around, a klaxon horn blows, and we know Albertos Catering truck is still running. Hat’s off to the mechanics who keep it going, we would probably starve, or at least lose 10 lbs, if it ever stopped coming. Here’s a “salud” to Perla the cook and Rubin the […]

The East Coast was snowed in, literally, for a large part of the early season out there. […]
Roots, Victoria Cove
on July 29, 2010
Here’s a note from an old friend who grew up with us in the sands of Victoria Cove. Our shack, a shared rental, is at the 2 o’clock position, dark wood shingles with white trim under the big tree, half way up the stairs at the N. end of the beach. The Prietto house is […]

Peter Haines going aaaaahhheeee! circa 1978 Launching. Why not? What’s wrong with today’s young skimmer’s? Don’t they read the ancient texts? Getting air! That’s it!
