Jim, sorry for the stolen goodies as is everyone else that has to pay for his/her stuff...

I remember, about five or six years ago, when I hired your guide services, and I was concerned about where to park when I met up with you in the morning. I remember your comment was something like "park on the street...waddaya think, this is L.A."? Things aren't getting better...

As for the actual FISHING on weekends, I don't have any expertise on L.J. but Dana Point is a zoo. Sailboaters seem to be the worst, but power boaters aren't far behind. And that's in the harbor! Outside some A-hole will zoom past you, 20 yards from your yak, just because he can. Never mind he's endangering your very life. He thinks he's entitled - there's no 5 mph limit out there...

The Harbor Patrol is just as bad. They'll do their one distress call a week, spend the rest of the week motoring around the harbor, motoring right over floating garbage bags, and washing down their FOUR boats, two of which they never use, and watching some 48' sportsfisherman almost run you down or capsizing you with his wake. Say anything to him? Probably not, he's paying the bills... Either that or they (and others) need a few days to figure out that some stranded whale is tangled up... Better solution, change (proposed) the right-of-way rules in the harbor and make the yaks go around ...

Arggggggggh... I can only hope that someday I'll be reading a post about how someone caught some lowlife stealing from his vehicle and beat him into a bloody pulp. But then again the blood pulp will probably sue...

Jim, unfortunately, it's time for a locking storage box or camper shell...
