14 mile downwinder from John Wayne's house



Today we did a 14 mile downwinder from Las Cruces (the crosses) a former movie star getaway. Las Cruces in it's prime catered to the likes of Bing Crosby, Desi Arnaz, and John Wayne. It's 14 miles north of La Ventana and not accessible by road unless you have connections. So we paddled there. 14 miles each way. Leaving at 8:30 am allowed for an easy flat water northerly trip and with the usual building wind in the late morning a downwind ride. We timed it perfectly as the waves built to about 2 feet in 20 knot winds. Good times.
