Coronado

Today, I went on a brief trip across the bay to Coronado.  It's actually joined to the mainland by two road bridges, although it is technically an island.  I crossed to the island via the ferry boat, as all the long bay tours were fully booked.  I'm hoping to go on the bay tour tomorrow or Monday. There is a group of touristy shops and restaurants there, where I had an ice cream.  I was able to paddle briefly in the Pacific Ocean, as they have sandy beaches on the island, whereas the mainland side of the bay is mainly sea-defence rockpiles or the piers for the port of San Diego and the ferries and the military and the cruises.

I see the weather forecast on my phone every day and it keeps telling me that it's 21C/70F.  I'm sorry, but I just don't believe it.  It's at least 25, if not higher.  However, it does get rather chilly in the evenings, so I don't believe the 18C/64F temperature reading either.  I am really surprised at how cold it gets here.
