A couple newsworthy bits n' pieces from the San Mateo coast this weekend...
- This is why I don't surf by the Pacifica Pier/Sharp Park Road. Despite what often look like some pretty solid waves, the currents are devastating:
Teenage Surfer Rescued Off Sharp Park Beach. Pictures taken from
here. Really this spot is I think pretty much always empty, and this must be why. Better know what you're doing if paddling out there...glad he wound up OK. Crazy Brazilian. Come join all the rest of us a mile down the road at Linda Mar next time!!
- Now on to the really darker side of things:
College instructor found slain in his car at Montara Beach. Read the entire article if you like, but apparently police were talking to the driver of a lone parked car at a pullout by Montara, and in doing so noticed a hand sticking out under blankets in the back seat. Sad story. Surfer rescues are one thing -- those happen somewhat frequently around this area -- dead bodies in cars, not so much. Thank goodness.
