Judging by the bouys the big band of swells that were supposed to start filling in on wednesday and peak today has arrived. sadly, with it came the rain. enough rain to clean those streets and creeks of all the crud that has gathered in them during our drought. i myself have gotten self-absorbed in renovating a house which has swallowed all of the free time my day job allows me. I did take a gander at it today, and it seemed big but not huge, however very messy and dirty. To me it wasn't worth it, but there were some folks out there surviving the victory at sea conditions. I suppose the swell should be around after the storm blows over and that could be fun conditions (yet dirty). Water Quality testing won't happen again until monday, so if you see anything floating by you, don't swallow any water.
Check out the artwork of Sean Kirkpatrick, who is often featured at the Natural Cafe . There are some excellent paintings and photos up there, even a foto of Rincon. Don't forget the graphic design section featuring such items as menus from Bill's favorite apri-surf place Baja Grill and local surf paintings such as "Mesa Lane Lineup"
Updates may be slow next week too as I continue my learning curve of tearing a house apart and putting it back together. If you are a tradesmen in Heating, Plumbing, or Flooring and can hook a brother up, let me know. Also if anyone has any stories or photos from this swell/storm let me know and i'll post it to make up for my lack of info.
