Beach time in the Bay Area & Fog.


Doesn't happen too often around here. Folks think... California in the summer! I'm gonna hang out at the beach all the time! Well... not in SF.

In the Winter, Spring, Summer... it's too cold. Spring & Summer, it's predictably foggy and windy (great for kiting & sailing... and some time-lapse vids). A nice summary of the SF weather is here. And if you want to check the fog-forecast... a great resource if you are biking to the headlands.

But there are a few days a year usually in October or November when it's unseasonably warm, and there is no wind or fog (why? - cuz the central valley is HOT in the summer... that air rises, and that air has to be replaced... with what? the off-shore air... and SF happens to have the Golden Gate, the path of least resistance). And you think, man... SF is awesome.

This year we've done a good job taking advantage of those days.

That's when you can go out to the beach, have bonfires, play beach volleyball


donkeyballs, cornhole, toss the bee, play cups, nails,


and catch amazing sunsets.


Not too shabby.
