Coast Guard helicopter water rescue demonstration at Breakwater

We saw a water rescue demonstration put on by the regional Coast Guard helicopter today. It was a great show during the Coast Guard open house here in Monterey.

The Night Heron Returns

Our friendly local night heron has returned to the harbor side of the Coast Guard Jetty at Breakwater. This little winged dinosaur likes to hunt where the water is pretty clear and lots of little fish hide out.
