we were treated with a healthy dose of beautiful weather, glassy surf, good eats, rowdy dice, high stakes poker, and killer sunsets.
a last minute entry by the Artiste Formerly Known As Solo (aka robert nester) had everybody fired up. always good to hang with this cat, the old school bojon brother that he is.
and yes, there was some bocce to be played. the friday night session reaffirmed the cruz's reputation as one of the best beach bocce courses out there. low tide play offers premo long ball rounds with intricate undulations that require a rich combination of distance and finesse.
the tourney this year lacked the formality of years past mainly due to the absence of commisioner allen who got waylayed in colorado having his wisdom teeth extracted.
however, what competition there was resulted in a repeat title for last year's champion, Team Haan.
otherwise, just a bunch of stone cold chillin'. lots of kids in tow this year, a true sign of the times...
