Beach sharing
 

One of lifeguards gave me hard time early this summer- told me i was not allowed to turn around on the beach or back up bc i did not hav spotter. Also told me i could not go on beach in 2wd vehicle any more . I think lifeguards get stressed with heavy foot traffic n cars going fast to avoid getting stuck. Ive not been stuck in 8 yrs but hav complied bc i think its a mess in summer n trying to go w flow n make it work. I just wheel my yak unless early or late in day. labor day will be here soon n crowds will diminish again. Hallelujah!

However, there are related problems with sharing beach in summer. I'd like to have signs on Avenida De La Playa directing pedestrians to walk only on sidewalk on south side of street. And why not put some steps and entry way for pedestrian kayak renters right there at end of sidewalk? It's very dangerous for groups of kayak renters to walk in front of car path onto beach. When people are in big herds like that their awareness n intelligence decreases - they need more idiotproofing. I fear an accident will happen, someone will get seriously hurt, n we may lose access to our launch site. Lose lose lose.

Sorry for thread jack Jim. Glad u had good karma.

Moyer didn't catch one but he did hook and hand one to my dad (and it was a good one). I'll post photos as soon as I can.
