Re: The power of constant growth.

Re: such a thing as a san diego downwinder?

Re: PFDs required at Dana and Newport Harbors while paddling
I stand corrected – I just called the harbor patrol and crawlers are exculded because they are considered bathers. As soon as you use the paddle it becomes a vessel. They did not know the fines – they are set by the courts. I would bet it's more $ t… [Link]

Re: PFDs required at Dana and Newport Harbors while paddling
