You Can't Stop A Sailor From Sailing.

No water, no problem.
Where did I put my bottle of vodka?

The Restaurant Is Open For Business.

Hopefully, you will like the look and feel of the place.
I will be tweaking things as I go along.

Now I'm out of here!

Have A Great Weekend.

Try, oh, try to get out onto or into the water this weekend.
I'm out of here.

Competitive Sailing.

There's nothing like good old fashioned friendly competition between gentlemen.

The swell comes in down in Cabo.
Via Surfline.

The Ferry Building.

From the turn of the 20th century.

Fish On Fridays.

A bucket full of fish and a beer. What more could you ask for?....maybe a wahine?

Friday Flyover.

Nothing like buzzing the beach.

The Pressure Drop Crew.

I've always wondered how they get such great shots.
It must be a bitch if you drop it.

Polaroids.

Look, even the Polaroids have wahines in them.
Still redishing, who knew putting stuff on a plate would be so hard.

Temporary Design.

Many of you have complained about load time and crashes. So I'm currently redishing the look and feel of this blog. Cheers, Joe

Speaking About The Lineup.

Did you guys read about the 9 diseases you can get at the beach and ocean? The Commander is concerned for your well being. I think he would like you to take the Dog's advice and head for the slopes instead of the surf. He really, really is concerned.

9 Diseases You Can Get At The Beach And Ocean.

Hepatitis: a problem for surfers due to the improper disposal of red waste, a hazardous waste, such as syringes. The disease can be spread in the nation’s waters through needle and blood pollution.

Enteric Bacteria: it is transported by storm water and sewage run-off; the beaches become contaminated with fecal pollution, known as enterococci. The bacteria contaminates the intestinal tracts of humans and animals.

Legionnaire’s disease: a respiratory illness that grows in warm waters; it’s a form of pneumonia and is contracted when one inhales mist or vapor that is contaminated with the bacteria; it causes high fever, muscle aches and coughing.

Oil Spill Related Illnesses: dermatitis and other skin infections can be contracted following dermal contact with oil or dispersants.

Swimmer’s Ear (Otitis Externa): an infection of the external auditory canal that is often contracted during the summer in humid environments; disturbs the skin’s ability to serve as a barrier.

Gastroenteritis: cause diarrhea, which can be contracted from cryptosporidium, giardia, shigella, e.coli and norovirus.

Swimmer’s Itch (Schistosome cercarial dermatitis): an itchy rash that is caused by parasites; trematode parasites move from host to host.

Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis): also called Conjunctivitis is one of the most common eye infections that can be contracted in water; irritates the eyes causing people to touch the affected area, spreading the infection; often people wear contact lenses at the beach, which harbors the bacteria.

MRSA: present in sub-tropical waters; spreads from one body to another through water and is washed into the ocean where the bacteria can infect populations of beachgoers.
