Jack Coleman’s newest project is set to premium July 14th in Australia. This looks like it is gonna be a good one…check out the trailer below! We may do a mini premier on our patio once Jack gets back into town….keep you posted.
A nice south swell pumped the whole weekend with lots of fun rides to be had. Hard to belive that the 4th of July is upon us. Get ready Newport!
Last Saturday we attended the 2016 wooden boat show at the Balboa Yacht Club. They had some amazing old hand crafted wood boats on display, including John Wayne’s old boat, The Wild Goose.
The 2016 Oakley sponsored event is taking place starting today at 56st. Also, this Saturday at the Balboa Yacht Club is the annual Wooden Boat Show.
A few weekends ago we attended an amazing 1920’s themed wedding at the Catalina Island Casino. It was a very special day in an amazing and historical location! Congrats Heather and Chris!
The trees that surround the paid parking lot at 56st and Seashore Dr. are set to be cut down in the near future. The new development of 25 homes called Echo 56 is to blame. Somehow, they are only planning a few guest parking spots actually on the property of Echo 56 (I think less than 10). Once these are filled, all others will be forced to park on the streets surrounding the new homes. This includes the paid parking lot that many of these new homes tower over. So, the city is allowing the Echo 56 project to redevelop the paid parking lot which includes cutting down the surrounding trees. One thing to keep in mind, the old apartment building that once sat on this site had probably 100+ private parking spots…..We are in for a parking mess this summer!
It was super windy over the weekend. Come Monday morning the wind swell was sweeping south from jetty to jetty and the beach was scattered with ocean foam.
Yurting at Lake Cachuma! We spent Valentines weekend exploring.
This Blue Jay flew into our Yurt several times with no fear. It landed on the bunk bed and did a fighter pilot dive bomb into Costa’s dog food. As we were packing up the bird knew and came back to say good bye.
The Summer Days of February
Tags: Newport Beach Sunrise, sunrise
The heat wave this February has provided us with beach days, amazing sunsets and stunning sunrises. The image below is today’s sunrise over Newport Beach with just a hint of off-shore winds.
The Santa Ana River puked all over the shoreline of Newport Beach last week during the first true flush of the river this year. You name it and it was deposited on the beach last week….shoes, shopping carts, plastics, yard debris, needles, shipping pallets, tires, spray paint cans and just about anything else that can make it down a storm drain.
