Tuesday
Today we moved on along the coast, we drove past all those fabulous Malibu Beach houses, on past a place called Paradise Cove, made famous by one James Rockford, as it was here that he had his beach side trailer in the Rockford Files. We were bound for Ventura, only 50 miles up the coast, to the Fairground there. The fairground is actually on the beach and with full hook up is a cheap deal at $35 per night.

Today I thought I had got up really early to get some sunrise pics of the sea, only to find that even though it was almost dark there were some surfers already out on the water. After yesterdays wind it seems that todys surf would be very good.
Sally gave in on her back and we went in search of a Chiropractor, we found one only a couple of minutes away and Sally spent some time having her back crunched, her neck clicked and her legs manipulated and amazingly she seems a lot better and in less pain, She goes back on Friday for the man to finish the job.

In the afternoon we sat on the beach watching the surfers. The weather had deteriorated yesterday and today’s surf was quite spectacular, even though by now the sun was out and it was pleasantly warm.
Thursday
Relax and chill out again. We wandered the beach again amongst the surfers, this time we walked to the pier, which is described as the longest pier in California (as opposed to the last pier we visited, which was Oceanside Pier, which describes itself as the longest pier on the Pacific Coast (go figure). This pier at least was built as a working dock which was used as a place to import and export stuff, which enabled Ventura to become a successful community.
Friday
We packed up and would have left, but for Sally’s, early morning, second visit to the Chiro man. That over with we hitched up the wagon and moved 50 miles up the coast through Santa Barbara to El Capitan State Beach, where we found a lovely site on a cliff top where we could see the sea and watch dolphins and sunsets. It was lovely, though quite (as in rocking the trailer) windy at times.

You are seeing some beautiful country. Watching surfers is a something I always enjoyed at the beach in California.
