Pat, Craig and I went to the free Carl Jung art exhibit at the Pacifica Institute in Montecito. I didn't know that Jung was an artist. After seeing his work, there is no doubt that he had talent. Mandalas and psychedelic realism with Hindu and Buddhist symbols coupled with archetypes can inflame one's senses.
Pat and I went to the Chumash Painted Cave in the Santa Ynez mountains. The trip up the San Marcos pass with the Santa Barbara Channel Islands in the background was beautiful. The narrow and winding road to the cave was populated by demented drivers, bent on going to fast for conditions. The cave was worth the trip. Nicely colored artwork, with a protective iron grate, in a shallow cave with easy access prompted Pat to take many photos.
During our stay I surfed Devereux three times, twice with Craig. The first time was the best as the swell was chest high. The other two days were wind swell with no oomph. I noticed my 11' Andreini Glider had blotches of oil, presumably from the 1969 oil spill and ongoing oil extraction. The water was too cold for my 3/2 wetsuit. I ended two sessions shivering. Stupid me for not getting a 4/3 and 3 mil booties with gloves.
We left El Capitan on March 31 for our final destination.
