“Pacific” / adjective - peaceful in character
« on: January 06, 2014, 07:47:16 PM »
After negotiating the straits below Tierra del Fuego in 1519 Ferdinand Magellan was glad to find “pacific” waters!

It’s been pretty pacific in So Cal the last couple of weeks – no wind, no swell – ocean flatwater.
No polar vortex either - here’s a shot of the local weather report on TV.



Wednesday & Thursday look bad, guess we can always go mountain biking.   ;)


Here are some pics from today’s outing.  Maybe they’ll provide some much needed warmth to those in colder climes..

Outside El Moro Canyon between Newport and Laguna Beach.







The calm conditions made for nice paddling through the kelp next to rock formations along crystal Cove State Park and Corona del Mar.













Catalina Island (apx. 30 miles west) can be seen in the distance.




We need some weather and rain out west, but it sure makes for peaceful paddling.

Really nice!
Looks like a perfect day to poke around, and play on the water.

Thanks :D

You guys paddle such pretty places, and it looks like you had the whole place to yourself, nice!
