Red Tide at Dawn

Red Tide at Dawn

  I went to the coast earlier this week and finally saw the thing I’ve heard so many talk about. Do you ever think you know something because you hear it so much until you actually see it for yourself and realize you had no 

Mitch Visits!

Mitch Visits!

If you haven’t heard from me in a while, it’s because I’ve been too busy having fun with my bestie who came for a visit from Minnesota last week. I’m dogsitting, but the pup, Zero, is so cool we let him join the gang and 

Dogs at the Beach

Beach Beauties

Beach Beauties

During a zany week in spring, two friends from Chicago decided to come to California for a visit. Touching the Pacific always gets top priority. Though perhaps I shouldn’t actually touch it. Particularly the sketchy sea foam. I went against my better judgment and went

Here’s a good way to pester clams living on the shore. Makes me excited to go clam digging!
Shell to Bait

Shell to Bait

I realize I didn’t explain much in the way of baiting a hook for fish. This is just a hair more complicated than sticking a worm on a hook, but I took a video of Bear opening a giant mussel for fish bait. Enjoy!
