Santa Monica South: Off Duty Foot Patrol...

Dateline: Thursday, April 14, 2016, mid morning reconnaissance from CSHQ to SMS Tower #28 and back...

We begin with a photo of the Rip current with no one in it... off of SMS Tower #18...


Trademark Alert!...  BLUE SUEDE SHOES® sandal (x-ref: lost and found), along with a couple of choice plastic toy tools...



Bee playing cards... left in the sand overnite... 


I just wish these people would Bee more careful and pick up their cards before leaving the beach... 


And look who is working SMS Tower #20 (below) and looking fit as a fiddle!...  Veteran OL, George Akopyan!... (aka, The Mayor of Ave 23)...  who advised us that he has, ironically, been working more shifts lately in Santa Monica than in Venice.


That gnarly Inshore Hole (below) we wrote about a month ago off of SMS Tower #24 is still there and it is still a monster!


Not to worry, OLS Mike Murphy is all over it and all of SMS at the main tower, T-26.  (Sidebar: Yes, those are HOBIE® sunglasses he is wearing).


On our return trip to CSHQ, we caught up with OL George Akopyan again putting in some laps in the soft sand!...


Back at CSHQ, we observe a construction crew working out in front having set a foundation and framing and pouring concrete!...  What could it be?!...



We then saw an area Captain and asked him what all the construction was all about and he said, "Oh, that's the new recurrent sauna, jacuzzi and weight training center".  Wow!...  Who Knew?!...


And then we saw another Captain readying his vehicle and on his way out of the parking lot.  Eugene!...


Pop Quiz!... Who do these fins (DA FIN) belong to on the rack of Rescue 200 ?


And the Answer is...


And then it was time to leave... or maybe not!...


10-4

Until next time.....
