I could see my guages but that was about it. Got a few small teeth and stingray barbs just to say I was there.
Of note: there were several cars broken into at Sharky's between 0800 and 0830. I went down there at 0900 to check conditions and found several of the bicyclists standing around waiting for the police. They parked and did their morning ride at 0800 and came back to find several of their cars and one tourist's car with broken windows and several purses missing.
Possibly related: I stopped down at S Brohard just prior. I walked down to the beach and back (surf looked bad for diving) my car was the only one in the main lot, with two at the roadside parking. As I was walking back to my car, an older SUV was driving slowly past my truck, the driver saw me and sped up, turned around sped up to about 25-30 mph and left immediately. I thought it was strange as I was going to flag him down to ask if he was diving but he took off so fast I couldn't. In retrospect, he may have been the same guy that broke into the other cars. He was an older male caucasian about 40-50 yrs old with sandy or salt/pepper hair.
I talked to the cops at Sharky's and filed a witness report, but watch your belongings - he apparently targeted vehicles with visible purses on the floor or seat. Typical smash and grab and didn't bother with glove compartment or trunk contents.
