Went to San Diego for a week with stops at the daughters in Long Beach
area. On the way down, used the gift certificate for our anniversary to
take a Gondola Ride through the Naples canals. Cheaper than the Gondolas
in Venice, Italy. Very nice little mini cruise, beautiful weather, some
nice vino from our trip to Italy last October. A local wine from the
Cinque Terre made from raisins. Then down to San Diego and some fishing
from the party boats out of Seaforth Landing to the La Jolla kelp beds.
Not much catching. Some Kayak fishing on Mission Bay, little catching
there either. And a couple of kayak trips without fishing on Mission Bay,
with some fish sighted. A lot of boogie boarding the surf of the Mission
Beach area and some bike rides around the area. Watching the Sea World
fireworks at night from the house. Up to the LA area on the way home to
other daughters and a nice fishing trip to Catalina Island yesterday from
Redondo Beach. Lots of catching. Mostly Mackeral and Calico Bass. A
couple of Sheepshead and Kelp fish. Beautiful 80 degree water and calm
seas.
