I got into the water halfway up to my knees at Bodega Bay, north of San

mighty cold. Too cold for me at Paradise Cove, near LA, and too cold off
a beach in the San Diego area. What good are these oceans if you can't
swim in them, anyway?

Oh my...we see a number of cruise ship passengers looking like your wife in the fall.
Trick here is to find a good jacket/coat that not only acts like a
windbreaker, but resists rain while "breathing".
For heavy rain you need a real rain coat.

For cold, rainy weather you need a better climate - same for snow and
ice. Ice is for drinks and skating rinks.


The funny thing is Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and most of the northern
coast is warmer in the winter. Fall is a beautiful time to visit. Summer,
the inland 100 degree temps pull in the coastal fogs.
