Minus Tide And A Mermaid!...

December 31st, 2013!  A Minus Tide (-1.6) and A Mermaid!  No kidding!...

First we bring you some photos from Northern Section from this afternoon from Beach Lifeguard - Media Guru, Adam Sandler:

Will:

Went for a run today at Zuma and took some snaps during the ginormous (or minormous?) Minus Tide. Here are some looks at the Minus Tide at 14:55 at Zuma looking both directions, and similarly a few minutes later how it looked at Nicolas Canyon.  Feel free to add to the collection!

Best,

Adam

SMS Report, Oct. 19, 2013: The Photos & Commentary

What started out as a stunning sunny day was replaced rapidly in the early afternoon by a thick fog bank along Santa Monica South.  Well, see for yourself above... and below.

 

First time we've seen this vehicle below. This same company has its own ambulance which was parked in the lot at CSHQ as part of the event safety management for the absolutely ginormous event on the Santa Monica Pier yesterday afternoon that ran from 2 pm - 10 pm and included some big name comedians, entertainment and music. Probably 10,000 plus people in attendance with the line to get in stretching from the entrance on the pier all the way up to Ocean Ave. and even wrapped around below The Lobster Pot on the incline roadway under the pier leading down to PCH.

"The 2013 Rookie Swim; The Report & Photos", by OLS Harry Varnas

Just in from OLS Harry Varnas!

"Great turnout at this years rookie swim.  A big thanks to all the parents, coaches, mentors and alumni who have supported these future rookies.  A lot of support was on hand with many parents in attendance.  Some of the parents were just as fired up, and nervous, prior to the start.

Here are some candid shots that captured the mood that morning.  The set up crew arrived at 5 am.  The training crew along with the fire dept personnel have worked many hours in preparation for the test.  And thanks to the future rookies for hanging in there for a long day.

Unofficially, the top 10 finishers were.

1.  Johnathan Diaz
2.  Robert Smith
3.  Brian Wadely
4.  Tristan Marsh
5.  Jane Miller
6.  Matthew Alberti
7.  Bradley Rava
8.  Thomas Ryan
9.  Joseph Anderson
10. Francis Gon-Gibs

Sincerely,
Harry Varnas
