San Diego Bay Harbor Cruise


I was truly enjoying the crisp ocean breeze along the San Diego Harbor.


Madelyn and Grammie

The USS Mercy--served in the Gulf War


Madelyn liked looking at the wake of our boat in hopes that the bubbles coming to surface would also entice a mermaid to make an appearance.


A Frigate, Destroyer and a Battleship. The floating fence is motion monitored and patrolled by heavily armed naval police---big, big, big shot guns mounted to the boats and hand carried.

Dry dock construction of an super ship.

The large ship to the left is the first of a new Class of Ships. The Bow of the boat is uniquely built so that when sonar pings the ship it only resembles the size of fishing boat.

The Escondido Bridge. Legend has it, that the architect created the bridge's underpass to resemble the Spanish mission bells.

View of the downtown Skyline. Notice the small all brown high rise--that's the federal penitentiary. It has the small view as the Four Seasons. Now you know where you're tax dollars go in California.

Looking out to San Diego Hills
