a blacks beach adventure

(photos above taken at windnsea beach before our hike)

If you live in southern California, you'll know that it was 100+ degrees on Friday and we were all melting. And if you're from somewhere else, now you know. Krew and I made the quickest, smartest, and coolest move and went straight to mother ocean and her somewhat cool breeze to rid us of our sweatiness.

Near 5pm, Cameron was off work and ready to meet us at a different beach, Blacks beach, for a little surf. Parking was awful and instead of taking the usual paved trail, we took a detour on the hatchi trail (HIKE!). Cameron carried Krew and his other baby (his board) and ventured down as I tried to manage my beach bag and myself as I laughed and took photos. Cameron did warn me it might be a little crazy. But the man wanted to surf!! So off the Rondos go! To find the surf! Nothing will stop us! And nothing did! We had a few slips and one fall on the bottom but husband, child, board, and wife all made it through. It was actually quite beautiful seeing the afternoon sun on those sandy cliffs. I always enjoy little natural parts of coastal California.

And to live up to the reputation of Blacks Beach (it once was a nudist beach), I even got a nice view of a 50+ yr. old man running on the beach nude. Completely nude. And he ran by me twice as I tried not to look up while hide my laughing. What was his motive?? Who knows... He wasn't even holding a back up pair of shorts or anything if he happened to change his mind. And yes, I snapped a picture. Be grateful it wasn't the frontal. Later, Krew decided to join in the nudist festivities! Yay for blacks beach!
