Thanks to John for today's photos.  I'm not sure where and when the Coast Guard rescue photo was taken but I'm sure those fishermen on the sea urchin boat are thankful for it!  They've come awfully close to a reef or the shore break!

We tried beach running today.  The last couple of times at Ward Ave., we stuck to the Haul Road because the dark beach sand was too soft for running.  Today, the fine grain and lighter colored sand had returned and made for much better running.

The ocean and sky were beautiful today, a perfect morning for a run or walk!
