Well, it’s the day after July 4th (one could even go as far as to call it July 5th) and San Diego has gone through some pretty drastic changes, literally over night. This is a temporary change that goes on every year, and I like to call it tourist season.
Mission Bay Park is getting very crowded. Rental boats are littering the bay with their mediocre sailors and the power boats are getting tickets for towing water-skiers and wakeboarders in a 5 mile per hour zone. There are single girls coming to sun bathe in peace, without the crowds that flock to the beach on a sunny summer day. You see the occasional boat, beached, waiting for low tide while the hung-over owners can’t think of anything to do but sit out in the sun. The beach is littered with beer bottles, used fireworks, trash cans and cigarette butts.
Summer is definitely upon us, and families are flocking to the beach. All we can do is sit back, grab a soda, some pizza and go sailing. This summer has been sort of slow so far and I hope it will pick up, but hey, I’m going to Oregon next week.
