Recently spent a day on the Channel Islands!
This day happened, by coincidence, be the day the Chumash people, the original inhabitants of the islands, were celebrating their heritage by welcoming a tomol, a traditional wooden plank canoe paddled by a team of about ten men and boys from the mainland. This canoe is heavy and rather difficult to maneuver in the very choppy waters. The trip from the mainland can take 12 to twenty hours.
Finished the day with the best fish tacos, evah, in Ventura.

Wow - great shots of an enviably great day(I spent the day sorting fabric for an impending house move... ). You've reminded me to carpe those diems.... thank you! (and I deleted previous typo-filled comments!)
Yeah you did!
