More fun Times in San Diego

Hey, just a thought. With the New England Patriots losing players weekly to injury, perhaps they'll need a backup quarterback soon. I still have my cleats - high tops baby! Just like Johnny Unitas, only in white.

I'm pretty sure I could get my buddy Dennis Leddy to gear up and play a little tight end. The fact that we both sucked takes nothing away from how good we looked on game days! This is us playing for the Hyde Park Cowboys in the Eastern Football League, oh, in about the last century.

Maybe the Boston Bruins? Ok, enough, I'll stop now. I may be old, but I'm slow. Got that going for me.

It's another beautiful weekend and we are back with Jungle in Glorietta Bay off Coronado.

My darling off course is by my side. I'm so happy, I'm grinning like a fool.

And I'm taking a picture of Jenée taking a picture. We never stop.

We pedal on our bikes for about 100 freaking miles along the strand which connects Coronado south to the mainland. This is a beach on the southern part of the bay looking north to San Diego.

We see the Coronado bridge and the downtown.

Jenée is up on the lifeguard stand. It's October, the weather is beautiful, but not quite swimming weather.

I'm in good hands if I need some saving. Maybe I will go swimming.

We pedal the 100 miles back up and stop for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant with a great view across San Diego Bay to downtown.

This is actually a gourmet Mexican restaurant, which may be an oxymoron. Either way we dig it.

We stop our bikes on our way back to Jungle for a picture. Jenée is on her fold-up bike. Mine is a rental.

We look across the other way and we see Jungle anchored in Glorietta Bay. Sitting pretty.

Speaking of sitting pretty, we find a truck idling with this dog behind the wheel, like he's waiting for a passenger pick up.

Hey dawg, what's up? Later bro.

Back on board Jungle, just chillin' the afternoon away ...

... and watching the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs. It's October and it's Big Papi !

The next morning we motor back to our marina and we cross paths with this US Navy warship.

We listened to communications from Warship 22 and incoming nuclear Submarine 107. Pretty cool. We never did see the sub. I believe they went under us through the bay channel. I'll check with my buddy Ed Rogas to see if that is Navy practice.

Downtown San Diego and the USS Midway. A little old mixed with new.

That night we dine at the Boathouse restaurant next to our marina. Lots of boats out there.

We're celebrating Cap'n Jimmy's birthday. I believe I don't look a day over 57 1/2.

The next morning we go to Jenée (and Sheri and Kedall's) favorite breakfast restaurant. Jenée really likes the cappuccino. Next up is a late October sail back up to Catalina island.
