Steve, Great fun to read your Carpinteria trip report. I grew up So Cal not far from Carpinteria (Ventura County), went to college in Santa Barbara, and loved life near the beach. Spent lots of time in the waters around Carpinteria! So reading your report brought back lots of memories. I'm paddling different big water now -- Lake Erie -- as I live in NE Ohio. Was in Atlanta for 17 years, and spent lots of paddling time in the Gulf. Nothing like the chilly, challenging Pacific! I miss the beaches, the Channel Islands, and even the ubiquitous "late night and early morning low clouds and fog" of the nightly weather reporters... Thanks for the colorful story! --Jeff P-D Jeff Peterson-Davis | jeff_at_peterson-davis.net Life is a gift to be received with gratitude and a task to be pursued with courage. -- Confession of 1967, Presbyterian Church (USA) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
