Three Old Men and The Sea

[City Dad]

Escaped to the water yesterday for the first time in months.

Met up with Anchor3n1 and Bones.

Went up North.

Water the color of tea with plenty of milk and lots of pulp.

Swell almost non-existent.

Moved around.

Climbing rocks probably a bad idea for guys our age.

Climbing rocks at my age in a pair of flipflops an even worse idea.

Bright spot, Bones got his PB cetacean.


kinda sad, but fascinating also.

guys took me to a great fish-n-chips place.

Great day at the Ocean.

Thanks, fellahs.

Were you anywhere near the oil spill? I wonder what did in the dolphin? Did you guys catch any non-cetacean denizens?

[City Dad]

we were up near the spill... but there was no indication of what did the dolphin in.

absolutely no bite at all.

City Dad is being humble...He DID slay a HUGE calico

As far as the Dolphin....We were actually quite far from the oil spill and it was really fresh dead. I walked up to it and it looked fake at first. Just like black plastic. Even after touching it I wasn't sure it was real until I slightly opened it's mouth to reveal it's teeth and some very fresh blood. I hadn't started to decompose at all....... ZERO smell.Then we were approached by two guys from the Marine Wildlife Rescue stationed out of San Pedro. They asked us to help them out with putting the dolphin on a stretcher and we all worked together to carry the deceased animal up the rocks to their box truck on PCH so they could do an autopsy on it to determine the cause of death. It didn't have any injuries or even a slight film of crude oil on it whatsoever.

All of that being said....It was still a really nice day on the water with some good friends and Andrea's Seafood was great. Angel Shark fish and chips baby...... Awesome way to end the adventure for sure!
