According to MPD Lt. Ethan Andrews, shortly after 2 am. Feb. 1, offcers were dispatched to a submerged vehicle at the boat launch ramp near the U-S- Coast Guard pier. They arrived to find the four-door sedan overtumed and in the water “The vehicle was unoccupied and resting on its roof,” he said.
Surveillance video captured by a nearby camera showed the car “driving through the parking lot at a high rate of speed and down the boat launch ramp into the water,” according to Andrews. “The vehicle floated for a brief period before sinking.” They have the where, when and how, but not the who or the why.

A traditionally slow Big Sur Half-Marathon weekend got even worse for businesses at the Breakwater Cove Marina on Saturday.

“If it was any other Saturday, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you because it would be too busy,” Leny Rapisarda said. “This isn’t just about us. It’s the kayak shop and the dive shop and the entire Monterey waterfront that gets shut down for the entire weekend. It’s not so much about the marathon, it’s about the way the city handles it.”

Why is it called the Big Sur Half-Marathon? It’s not in Big Sur, no where near. Since it’s on a slow weekend and only half shouldn’t it be called the Not In Big Sur Half Fast Marathon?
