California Dream Tours

You can book a tour directly from his website.  He goes out all year long.  More details are located at the end of this post.  Let’s get back to the boat!  As you leave the Marina, it’s common to see seals hanging about, posing for you like this:

“Hey man… check out those humans.”

Once you’ve left the harbor, Joss kicks the boat up a notch or two and off you go.  Water, soda or wine in hand, your choice, the views open up before you and it’s the Southern California coastline on one side, and the largest infinity pool on the planet on the other.  🙂   Once you’ve had a few sips of your favorite beverage and have settled in to the ride, you can break out your snacks (Joss welcome people to bring food!) and just… r e l a x.

Being who I am, I took this chance to shoot photos and videos.  #AlwaysWorking.

That’s a pretty sweet office view for the day

On our first cruise with Joss, we met some people from Senegal, Africa.  I haven’t been there, so I asked them about their country and what life was like for them growing up.  I always find it humbling when I hear of other peoples’ struggles.  Life in America is even more incredible when you hear what other people from other nations have gone through.   After that, being on hold with AT&T for twenty minutes doesn’t seem so bad.

On this blog, I try to stress the importance of talking to people when you travel (and in every day life).  It’s one of the central themes that runs through all of my work and my own personal life.  Talking to people is one of the greatest ways to create memories you didn’t know you wanted.  A side effect of those interactions, is that our minds are opened just a little more, our experiences are broadened, and we become better people ourselves.

Sitting on the ocean with a wonderful Frenchman is a good way to spend some time on this planet and commune with some fellow human beings.  And when you see some dolphins or other marine life… that’s just icing on a pretty spectacular sea cake.

I considered writing more about Joss and our time on the boat, but then I decided that a video and some photos would tell even better stories in this case.  We’ve sailed with Joss a few times now, as we love hanging out with him.  Last time we hung out, we shot the video below.  There’s more photos at the end, and as usual, all the details you want to know are listed under Moonbird’s Helpful Info.  Enjoy!  And smooth sailing!
