SMS and Venice Reconn: Saturday, August 12, 2017



 *** Could that be Omar Sharif above with the binoculars in hand?... at the Venice Breakwater (with a cameo by "on a workout" veteran OL Shota Guterres on the deck of the tower in orange board shorts?!...)

Dateline: After 10 a.m., Saturday, August 12, 2017. I started this morning at SMS Tower #24 and worked my way along the shoreline down to Avenue 26 in Venice... Here are the photos for your enjoyment:




























"Surfin' like an Egyptian"... while on a workout at the Breakwater...

 On a foot patrol, below, is the OL working Ave 26...


... and this guy below is beating a path to the ocean across the hot sand and is apparently ready to carve it up!...




Using his binoculars at Ave 26... well trained is this young OL!...


Below: Hey?!... do you think these two know each other?!...


I guess so!...   (x-ref: #getaroom)...
 

Meanwhile, the guard at Ave 26 is getting plenty of exercise...








After a body surf session with retired Capt. Angus Alexander and a quick nap, it was time to motor on back toward SMS..... via the famed Venice Boardwalk.....




Reconn only... no pizza purchase!...  (x-ref: full disclosure)


I did, however, hit up ZELDA'S for the mini donuts and a cup of coffee...

Back at SMS!...  Tower #26 at Ocean Park, below...
