Not really about sailing...

I was in San Diego for business a few weeks ago and I took my son.

While eating breakfast at the Edgewater Grill, we saw the USS Ronald Reagan going through refit and resupply across the bay. I mentioned how cool it would be to actually see a huge naval ship come by while people were eating.

Low and behold, a 'small' amphibious assault ship, the USS Essex came by!

What a treat!

Not much to do with sailing, but it's the little things that make life enjoyable

Very cool. The sheer size of them is hard to comprehend from afar, that's for sure. Once on board, it's even more impressive.

Having a boat in SD Harbor we get to see the Navy coming & going often, from the Big guys to the Seals in their go. Fast inflatables. Yes it is a treat to watch them working to keep us safe.
