Do you have any surf suggestions for me in the meantime? :) Well Blacks is Biggest! The underwater canyon focuses the waves. Watch out for the weirdos there. You can't park on the streets like before, and there's the hike up... almost easier to walk up from Scripps -- or just go out at Scripps. I only caught a few waves at wind'n'sea, not exactly my style. Much better body surfing there, but watch out for the surfers! Can't beat the chicks at wind'n'sea! Speaking of body surfing, Marine St, between Marine St and Sea Lane by the TacoBell on La Jolla Blvd is prob the all around best in the continental US. There's reefs visible south and north, Little Rock and Horseshoe but those breaks are for the experienced. Hospitals (further north) is a good intermediate for surfing, but can be serious too. Learn the rocks when the waves are small. Don't forget to pick up a mask, snorkel and fins for the Cove. The water is clearest now before it warms up. AM is best. :) I lived in PB in the late 80s, on Loring near Beryl, so that's where I went out a lot. And NJ is not too bad, I'm :15 from my door to Manhattan (the city that never sleeps) and I don't even need a car, my town is quiet and clean -- shouldn't complain, but I'll be back to CA too. // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:george@galis.org File, Print, DB and DNS Servers. http://www.galis.org/george To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
