Day at La Jolla Cove - Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1, 2008
What a day! It began kind of iffy weather-wise, as the skies were overcast. However, being San Diego, the clouds began to break up as we rounded the kelp beds at the end of the channel and headed north. Three dads and a group of enthusiastic kids took the 2 1/2 hour trip up with WC and me. The moms and countless friends were planning to meet us in front of the Beach and Tennis Club … and they did. We anchored as close to shore as we could get, which was surprising close actually.
Parents and kids of all ages seemed to come out in droves … swimming, rowing boats, paddling on surfboards and boogie boards. Everyone was diving and swimming and laughing. Four hours later, the reality of the next day being the first day of school set in, and the party began to head back to shore.
WC and I pulled the anchor up, and headed south by ourselves. As the sun began to set, we experienced a quiet cruise back to the marina.
