Among the festivities of the weekend festival was an event for the fast growing sport of stand up paddling called the Mickey Muñoz Paddle Surf Fiesta. I snapped a few pictures. Just another lovely day in SoCal (in March).

Travelogue: Dana Point, a Saturday in March
During a weekend trip to San Clemente, my wife and I set out on a short day trip just up the Southern California coast to a town called Dana Point. Named for Richard Dana, author of Two Years Before the Mast, the city boasts a lovely marina. Little did we know that there was a celebration going on: The Festival of the Whales.

This is the first I have heard of stand up paddling. Liked your pictures, especially the marina, and most especially the sillouette...which, of course, is sort of a grandpa thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso liked that quiet seascape; nothing but horizon and clouds.

You know I'm calling you guys to be my tour guides when I ever get around to coming to your beautiful state. Thanks for all the pictures. I like this virtual vacation for a few minutes :)
ReplyDelete@Dennis: Glad you liked the photos. I did learn a thing or two from Grandpa's photos. More by osmosis than anything. But I do remember him telling me about "framing" a picture. He often had branches hanging in the foreground of his landscapes.
ReplyDelete@Betty: Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@September: Glad I could give you a mini-vacation. So Cal does have its own flavor. I've lived here most of my life, and I'm still surprised by the variety of things I run into, like stand up paddling. (Who knew?)
