Stormy days
are just the ticket for kite surfers.


Taking advantage of another stormy day at Pillar Point RV Park, over a dozen kite surfers came from near and far to catch the wind.    If you love the stormy weather at the ocean, however, I am afraid you'll be out of luck as of noon on Sunday.    The skies are scheduled to clear up and the temperature for the rest of the week looks to be in the low 70's.

We have had so much fun just taking off south on Highway 1 and stopping often at all the beaches and parks.   There are a ton of beautiful photo opportunities along the way.
