The Beach Captain

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

If you watch closely, you'll see my shorts magically change from dark gray to light gray over the course of this video. This is because they were wet and dried during the taping. The tunnel under Pacific Coast Highway was flooded. I had to wade through about hip deep water to get to the beach from the parking lot. Crystal Cove State Park is between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, CA. Recorded 09-08-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

It was a hot one today. This video was shot on the beach just south of Belmont Park. I tried to get the crowded boardwalk and the crowded beach in the same frame. Did I mention it was crowded...and hot? Recorded 09-05-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

A warm day in La Jolla. Recorded 08-20-22 Copyright 2022 J. R. Shelton

Hanging out at Windward Plaza just about in the shadow of the "Public Art Declaration." I was down wind from a couple of guys who were spray painting some "art" on the Public Art Walls, so I was getting a nose full of vapors. Recorded 08-13-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Lounging south of the pier as the surf contest goes on. Recorded 08-06-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Hot & humid this day. The sand was so hot it burnt the Captain's tootsies. That's the north side of Dana Point behind me. Recorded 07-30-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

A sunny mild day. That's Point Loma in the background. Recorded 07-23-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Good sized waves today, but mostly a close-out session. The June gloom has spilled over into July. A mile inland was sunny & 80+ degrees, while here it was overcast, misty and barely 70 degrees. The left knee jerk at 06:25 is in response to a squirrel that was stalking me since I first sat down. Slowly getting closer and closer. That movement scared it off. It must have thought I was some sort of nut or something...it was right. Recorded 07-16-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Interesting fact: I'm sitting where there were once houses 50 years ago. Recorded 07-08-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

A nice sunny day at Pacific Beach. Recorded 06-29-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton

Just below the Self Realization Fellowship compound is Swami's Beach, a renown surf spot for decades. Recorded 06-18-22 Copyright 2022 J.R. Shelton
