Welcome to S Cal May Gray and June Gloom

Stevie Triesenberg is a very busy woman. The internet is a great way to see how others live and work. She works for an aviation instrument firm. You must have heard of Garmin. They also make products useful to travelers. Garmin is a super system in airplanes. Passenger cars should have it so good. She discusses May Gray and June Gloom when she talks. Do you name months due to weather?

I remember my daughter mentioning it when she lived in San Diego. The ocean water (surf) is still right cool now too.

Here in San Jose, the morning fog often carries a distinct fresh garlic smell.

20 miles south of us, and 200 ft in elevation is the town of Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world. During the mid-to-late summer nights, when they harvest the garlic, low lying clouds slowly waft down towards the San Francisco Bay. You walk out your front door and suddenly you're hungry.

Coastal waters in CA are never REAL cold. In my scuba days (70s-80s) I never saw water temps below 50 or over 55 between San Diego and Eureka. Thats still cold enough for a wet suit though. FL, HI, Mexico and Bahamas waters, I didn't need a wet suit.

I've spent many days in that general area--Hollister, Moss Landing, Aptos, Santa Cruz and Gilroy. It was a great escape from the triple digits in the central valley.

I don't think it ever gets much above 70-odd degrees.

I've gone into the water off of Key Biscayne at midnight (Aug1976) and the water was the same temp as the air--I couldn't tell where the water stopped and the air started as I walked in. LOL--couldn't tell you what the actual temp was.
