Posted on by

A three-hour tour they said, it will be fun they said.

Weather started getting rough and the tiny ship was tossed.

Boat on the rocks

Five people had to be helped to shore Saturday morning by lifeguards after they abandoned their boat at Asilomar State Beach in Monterey County.

According to the Monterey Fire Department, they received reports of a group of people attempting to paddle their motorboat back out to sea at around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, but due to winds and high surf they gave up their attempt and exited the boat.

They ended up stuck on a rock outcropping in the Pacific Ocean about 10 feet away from land.

Bicycle Crash In the Past

Bike riders always griping about walkers on the recreation trail. Keep your pedals off the foot paths and sidewalks.

A bicyclist in his 40s who was apparently riding on a footpath adjacent to Ocean View Boulevard in Pacific Grove this week fell onto a rocky beach and was taken to the hospital for injuries.

“He suffered traumatic injuries to his leg — possibly other injuries as well,” fire chief Gaudenz Panholzer told The Pine
Cone.

Ben Harvey Will Be Spending Even Less Time In P.G.

Posted on by

Farewell to the work-from-Long Beach kid. Overpaid and uneducated about P.G.

Under mysterious circumstances. Like he stomped on a Monarch or something.
Council appointees and department heads are precluded from making disparaging  statements about Ben Harvey,” Pierik said. “You should not make any statements [verbal or written] about Ben Harvey or his resignation.

Following a 5 p_m. closed session city council meet-
ing Wednesday, PG. city attorney Brian Pierik reported
in open session that the council voted 6-0 to approve the
so-called separation agreement, which allows city man-
ager Ben Harvey to resign from the job he’s held since
2016.
While Pierik didn’t specify why the council wanted
Harvey gone — and those specifics will probably kept
confidential — councilmembers were likely not pleased
with Harvey’s job performance and had lost confidence
in him.

Are You Ready To Fight Godzilla El Nino?

El Nino

Since 1951, there have been 26 El Niño events. Of those, 11 have been weak, 7 moderate, 5 strong and 3 very strong. Overall during all of them, rainfall in Southern California averaged 126% of normal. In the Bay Area it was 109% of normal.

During two of the three very strong El Niños, the winters of 1982-83 and 1997-98 were among the wettest in recorded California history, with massive Sierra Nevada snowpacks and major flooding.

The third, in 2015-16, was something of a bust. Hyped as a “Godzilla El Niño,” that event did see big winter storms, but they ended up hitting Oregon and Washington, dashing hopes of breaking a California drought, which didn’t end until big storms finally arrived in 2017.

Coast Weakly Calls Lighthouse Ave A Struggle

Lighthouse Ave Traffic

Comparing it to Alvarado. Apples and oranges. Avlarados and Lighthouses. And no one wants the homeless bums sleeping in doorways or acting strange on Lighthouse.

It’s been a balancing act for Monterey officials over the decades, figuring out how to serve the needs of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists while managing the demands and expectations of residents and business owners. A vision for Alvarado Street forged a decade ago in the city’s Downtown Specific Plan has led to what is now a flourishing destination. The vision for Lighthouse Avenue, laid out in the Lighthouse Specific Plan adopted in 2016, has been clouded by its geography and competing opinions on how to make it work as best it can for all involved.
