one day (3/28/2006) before the storm came in, we went on our usual daily walk. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the beach from our house. then we walk as far south as we have energy, then come home again. The total walk is two to three miles and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. To the southeast we can clearly see Moss Landing and to the northwest we can see Capitola point. It was a very stormy sea on this day but there were a few birds out getting their meal.
