    Isn't that where all the sharks live? I'll bet they're in a frenzy, with all the food thrown up by the storm? What are they telling you when you paddle out there, Skip?

    Is that the remains of the pier ? I know the SC Harbor mouth is breaking, so you are paddling in the harbor still.

    Brighton Denevan, 30, is the sand artist whose work is erased by the high tide. Here is "PERSEVERE" on the Capitola Beach shortly after the storm took out the beach front restaurants and broke the Wharf. https://twitter.com/AmyLarson25/stat...14663492829184

    As port captain at CBC I will miss viewing the Hawaiian Canoe during T time, but agree with Sled, that it will be much appreciated at it's new home.

    It is really beautiful, and Sled has just done a ton of wonderful work on it !

    Inside of Wharf Restaurant after 1983 storm. Destruction of the end of the Capitola Wharf contributed to the idea of building a "bow' on the Wharf to calm storm waves.

    Soquel Creek flood in 1983, coupled with high surf, destroyed the Esplanade Restaurants. That was 40 years ago.

    The "bow" on the Capitola Wharf didn't help, and ended up badly damaged in the recent storm.

    Memories are short. Capitola Village floods every 10-15 years, causing varying degrees of damage. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Albert Einstein.

    Hi Ants, Thanks for asking. As nothing is for sure until it actually happens, the double-hulled koa canoe Transpac trophy's new home will best be announced when it is delivered and rigged. Good news is it will be only 180 miles from your QTH.
