The pirate bay

AND SO back to our old stomp­ing grounds of Bel­mont Shore with Chris and Jamie to take in the sights, sounds, smells and sun­burn of the annual Pir­ate Inva­sion…

The girl in the middle won the Cos­tume Of The Day com­pet­i­tion. The one in my head, I mean.

And then it was back to our place for a bar­be­cue, man­fully per­formed by Chris as I’m miss­ing the “able to cook meat over an open fire” chro­mo­some…

What a great day […]

Congressional Cup Yacht Race

THE 47th annual Con­gres­sional Cup Yacht Race kicked off on Tues­day just off the pier out­side our apart­ment build­ing. Appar­ently it’s the most pres­ti­gi­ous yacht race in Amer­ica, which I have to admit amazed me because it was being held just off the pier out­side our apart­ment build­ing and not, say, in New­port Beach or Monaco. Any­way, after tak­ing pics of the bird bath I trod the boards of the pier to take some […]

Possibly the greatest bird bath EVER

IT’S not every day you get to see two girls tak­ing a shower in broad day­light on a busy street. They were there to pro­mote PETA’s push for vegan­ism to help water con­ser­va­tion.

Ooo, and I took the Flip:

A beautiful California morning

THE weather’s atro­cious today, so off to the beach I went to take some pics. It’s much more inter­est­ing then when it’s bright and sunny. Click for the full-size image.

Looks like they’re going to have to can­cel the yacht race that’s sup­posed to be hap­pen­ing […]

Two pratts in a boat

WE’VE both wanted to hire a Duffy boat for ages, and for a birth­day sur­prise Ev organ­ised a trip around the bay for me*. A Duffy boat is a little elec­tric ves­sel that only does three miles per hour (think of it as the PT Cruiser of the seas) and is designed to be gently piloted around the calm waters of Los Alo­mi­tos Bay and not the open ocean, thus des­troy­ing my plans for mak­ing a drugs/hookers run to Mex­ico.

Here’s our trusty boat, which I imme­di­ately christened RMS Titanic. Ev volun­teered to drive so I could take pics and […]
