The Beach Captain

A rainy gray day at Mission Bay. A viewer suggested I go to the bay beaches near Sea World. So I did. In the distance to the left is Sea World. This beach is used for water skiing. The boat launch is further down the beach, this area is for dropping off skiers. Recorded 03-11-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

An overcast morning turned into a nice afternoon. Little Corona Del Mar Beach has tidepools, and is just south of Corona Del Mar Beach. Recorded 03-04-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A mild sunny day at the tidepools on a very low tide. Happy Presidents Day. Recorded 02-20-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A cool windy day with rain on the way. Last month's storms stripped the sand, and threw layers of cobble onto the beach. Recorded 02-11-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A mild sunny day at the beach. The structure at the end of the pier has been torn down since the last time I was here. Recorded 02-04-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A sunny, cool, windy day at Capo Beach. This month's high surf and king tides took most of the sand off of this beach. Dana Point and Dana Point Harbor are in the background. Recorded 01-28-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A nice sunny day in Coronado with the S.S. Monte Carlo shipwreck behind me. Large surf and King tides have uncovered the wreck which is normally not exposed to this degree. This was recorded at an extreme low tide as well. The wreck is located between Stan's Beach and Gator Beach. The peninsula in the distance is Mexico. Recorded 01-21-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A cool stormy day. This was recorded just before the real storm rolled in about ten minutes after I packed up. Those popcorn sounds are rain drops hitting the plastic covering the camera. The house behind me is on St. Malo Beach, a private beach. Don't worry, The Captain will find a way in. Recorded 01-14-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

Big Waves and King tides wiped out this beach...and many others in California. Again, rotting seaweed attracts flies. Recorded 01-07-23 Copyright 2023 J.R. Shelton

A mild Saturday. Did I mention that rotting seaweed attracts a lot of flies? Well, it does. Recorded 12-17-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Happy Thanksgiving. Recorded 11-21-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

This beach is just below the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. People have to go through the golf course to get to the steep dirt trail that leads down to the beach. Recorded 11-12-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

A nice sunny day. A little breezy, but not cold. Not many people out on a Saturday. Recorded 11-05-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

The Captain's crash diet left him too weak to drink during most of the video. He saved his strength for the toast at the end, but then fell to pieces. Special thanks to the lovely Luna for keeping The Captain's drink cold. Happy Halloween! Please comment, subscribe & share. Recorded 10-29-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

The calm before the storm. Another week of temperatures in the upper 90's, only to have a storm system come in on the weekend. Recorded 10-22-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Cloudy and gloomy. Dodged some rain for this episode. Recorded 10-15-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Spike and I hang out on Dog Beach at Ocean Beach. No toast at the end because The Captain forgot to clear the cache on his phone and ran out of memory. Recorded 10-08-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton
