Surfrider chair discusses San Diego chapter's role in maintaining beaches and bays
 About two weeks ago on the deck at Paradise Point Resort, just as the sun started to set over Mission Bay, Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter chair Mark West looked over his right shoulder to see the golden hour glow growing.
"See that? That's what it's all about," he said, as he waved his arms toward the bay. "That's why we're here."
"Here" was at the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter's 15th annual Art Gala, which raised $34,000 to help protect the region's coastline and directly benefit the organization's education, outreach and advocacy directed at protecting local beaches. The event, which was held Friday, May 8, celebrated ocean advocacy while showcasing local artists and raising funds.

U.S. delegation campaigns Mexican officials for more boating access

If you're a passionate San Salvador junkie like me, you're probably wondering what's really going on with the launch plans. I've recently spoken with Ray Ashley, longtime president/CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, to get the inside scoop.
Ashley expected considerable criticism and second-guessing when he announced postponement of the ship's much-anticipated public launch two weeks before the event. Instead he received an outpouring of support from the public and the museum's backers and donors.
"The public response has been overwhelmingly positive. It has shown the degree of interest in the project - there are more people interested in it now than before," Ashley said.
Ashley pulled the plug on the planned April 19 public ceremony after it became clear that the firm weighing the vessel prior to the launch had miscalculated its weight by about 20 tons. The museum's naval engineer, in verifying calculations and preparations, thought the reported 131-ton weight was "too good to be true." He was right, as consultants confirmed.
