La Jolla Launch

[dsafety]

A Court Decision has Ordered the City to make the Children's Pool Beach exclusively for public use and remove the seals.
This links has some info as well as phone numbers. It seems to say it can be used for swimmers and divers.

-----------------------

I checked out the contact names on the Lifeguard list. As luck would have it, several of the current senior lifeguard officers are people with whom I worked many years ago when I was a seasonal lifeguard. I have emailed them with questions about using the Casa as a kayak launch site and will post the responses that I get in this forum.

I suspect that the official response will be that floating devices are not allowed on this beach. If that is the case, I would like to suggest that we, (the kayaking community), unite and try to get that rule changed.

Stay tuned.

I wish you luck! please be careful because the zealots dont care about the court ruling and will try and badger your into doing something foolish while another video tapes you.

These are not normal people. Did you see them when they had the nut jobs with hooks hanging by ropes last October? Coo coo for coco puffs. Doesnt help that the head kook in charge of the Animal Protection & Rescue League heading the pro seal efforts has allege ties to eco-terrorist

They're never going to get a bite with that leader - they should switch to fluorcarbon.
I'd gladly troll that bait down at the Guadalupe Islands.

I used to launch off of Camino de la Costa, just North of Avenida Cresta.

We two man carry the yaks on the South side of the point (past the pump station).
Last time I was there the waves were less than ankle slappers.

I was down at the Children's Pool yesterday watching "Actual Children" using the beach.


All the while an Eco-terrorist from Seal Watch was spreading propaganda and Video taping family's and children at play.
-Notice the Propaganda Seal Watch signs ("Please Do Not Disturb the Seals") that they place next to the Official City of San Diego Sign (stating "Public Access on the Beach is Allowed at All Times").

This sign says, ("Please Do Not Go On The Beach") The family to the left of the sign seems conflicted after reading Both Signs.


Clearly designed to confuse the vacationing tourists who's signatures they were soliciting to send to Senator Christine Kehoe.

DSafety, do you have a key to this launch ramp lock?


Conditions at The Pool

--------------------------------------------
I listened as She spread Her message saying how "people do evil things to the seals" and laughed out loud.
-she got pissed.

Before leaving I couldn't help myself, so I waited for Her to turn around and then said, "look that child is clubbing a seal". She almost fell off the sea wall while turning around. :lol:

I thought all signs on Public property needed a sign permit?

Maybe they do have a permit, because She had a Camp set up with a table, under a large umbrella, loaded with propaganda literature.

Everything pouring from her mouth was negative, as she accused people of harassing the seals. (none of which was taking place)

It was funny to watch her holding the video camera in one hand, while passing around a clipboard with the other.

Some people signed to Her agenda, others familiar with Her spiel walked right by.

Not an effective hook without the barb though. Unless you intent to C&R (in this case I would).
