I just heard the news report. It did not go our way. This is not yet a done deal but it appears that the City Council caved to the people who think cute seals are more important than our cute children.

I grew up in La Jolla and the CP was my favorite place to go as a young kid. I could swim, snorkel and climb the rocks searching for sea creatures. All within a very safe confined space under the watchful eyes of the Lifeguards. Everything that makes this place an ideal kayak launching spot makes it perfect for families with young children.

The fact that the seals and those who love them have stolen this treasure from our kids is a tragedy. Unfortunately only those of us who had the opportunity to enjoy this unique place in the past will truely understand what may be taken away from future generations.

It is highly unlikely that the CP will ever be made available as a kayak launching spot, (search some of my previous posts for details if you are interested). With that battle lost, I am hopeful that reason will prevail as the battle over the CP approaches its climax.
