Scheduled maneuvers for the meet up Guerrilla

Private Belly Up reports that with the occasion of the coincidence of low tides and sunset times on the evening of September 7th (monday) on Bean Hollow State beach (between Half Moon bay and Santa Cruz), a small operative has been required to document the event. Belly up hopes to be there around 6-6:30PM. Sunset times are estimated around 7:30. Low tide is estimated around 7:00 PM.

Whenever Major PITA and Corporal Punishment estimate convenient, I will disclose documents showing the place capabilities.

At ease!

I'll put it on the calendar but I'm not sure at this point. I like the concept though.

Major PITA here

Private, I will not be able to be a part of operation Hollow Bean.

Mondays are out for me...

Oh wait, is that the Holiday? Let me recheck with General Anniesthesia to see if she wants to combine operations early with Private Menace and Sgt Tormato... We could raid the Communist Republic of Santa Cruz, and I could slip away later to help you and Corporal Punishment take the beach...

That would be a Major Dream... let me work on battle plans to see If I can drum up support...

I should be available for active duty. If the Major is bringing his contingent, I may swing it to bring mine also.

These maneuvers will be apt for adults and children alike. The amount of crabs is and harbour seals are considerable and there is also a pebble beach were they can expend some time finding treasures.

Maneuvers are not the same without the major

The bigger the number of troopers the better. Next, a sneak peak of what one can find in a tide pool.

images 1-2 anemones and coral. THey should be all over the place. The use of a polarizer is almost obligatory although I took these without one. To bring up colors one has to increase the shadows on PP.

Image 3 typical crab that you will find by hundreds. They are one of our targets and we will be severely outnumbered, hence the need of troopers. They are also nasty (note the big crab staking the small one)

Non-showed are plenty of flowers and funky rocks on the place that makes for perfect seascapes.

If the tide is low enough (it should be) we will find starfish of several types and sea urchins. When I went there, there were plenty of harbor seals some of them without head (literally). This kind of enigmas must be solved.

May the force be with us!!

If we manage to have him focused on the enemy he would be our most feared ally

Wow, color me green with envy and this gives me pause to work on a weekend pass with the Admiral. My daughter is interested too, but she would be of the Canikon faction (that would be the somewhat dark side). Yep, I'm interested.

Good to listen that Tim. Our double agent Double-Chin Joe is also familiar with the equipment of our enemy

It's looking like we are going to sortie on the amphibious maneuvers.

I'm actually thinking of getting there a bit early and doing some hiking with wife and daughter.
