Froglegs, where do you live? My whole family lives in Arroyo Grande or thereabouts. And yah, I grew up there. I don't get back there much but Delta now flies direct to SLO from Salt Lake so my primary excuse no longer exists!

Tattie, sounds like your race was awesome. Running around the shores and then to the pier sounds lovely! Though I'm sure I would've had my own personal whinefest on the cold ferry ride!
