Mike & Tod - Day 7

Day 7 also started out very foggy.

Through no fault of Mother Nature this time, I suspect.

The culprit might have been, into addition to our indulging duo, their host. Who, from a chapter of "It's A Small World", I also happen to know.

How do I know this? I suspect after beverages were opened, stories were told. Mainly lies, I'm guessing. But soon after, I received the following e-mail.....

"I understand that you are in charge of keeping track of the two Bozos currently staying at my house. I would request that you make arrangements to retrieve them asap. Bar bill way too high."

If only it were that easy. Why do you think we have them on the other side of the continent?

As it turns out, I, too, had consumed many too many adult beverages with this gentleman, who also acted as my host. And Captain. As we (the host, one of the adventurist duo and I) plied the waters of the Pacific on our (considerably more than three hour) tour to Catelina Island. But those stories will surely rest safely with Davy Jones. Otherwise, nobody comes out looking too good.

Anyway.....after receiving the aforementioned escort out of Dodge (dotted line) the lads proceeded along the coast to Carpinteria.

Here, with Mike looking like a drifter out of The Dirty Thirties, the day did indeed start a off bit foggy.

And not sure if this is a warming due to their recent driving rain and head winds, or a reminder to be on the lookout from something coming across the Pacific.

[Hey, did anybody tell you guys they had an earthquake & tsunami in Japan? I didn't think so.]

But as the day wore on, they finally had their first taste of "sunny and warm" (mid 60's).

Time to celebrate........Cheers, guys!
