Third week without rainfall and none in the forecast. We've had unusually warm temperatures for this time of year and very little of the coastal fog we are used to. A good number of the winter migrant birds have left for their summer breeding grounds now and the local birds are in full voice for the breeding season. Ocean conditions were favorable for fishing and water sports for most of the week, but we did have a Great White shark attack at our local bay, which closed the beach for 48 hours. Fortunately, the surfer was not badly hurt and was out of the water and getting first aid quickly. Shook people up a bit, though. It seemed as if the number of tourists was down a bit this week, but will probably pick up for as Easter gets closer. Gas prices may affect tourism here, as the only way to reach us here on the coast is to drive. We'll see.
