		<title>San Diego to Oxnard &#8211; way fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187;San Diego to Oxnard Share your Adventures with SpotAdventures We visited a couple more of the Channel Islands &#8211; Catalina and Santa Barbara &#8211; both on the way out and on return. Catalina still leaves me cold. It has everything that Santa Cruz does, but it&#8217;s covered with people. I&#8217;m no misanthrope (someone who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187; A Hunter sailboat catches fire, sinks at Frenchy&#8217;s 7/8/2010 The Coast Guard and Vessel Assist responded to a report of a burning vessel last week. The preliminary report said that the captain was sailing alone, had anchored in Frenchy&#8217;s Cove and had started cooking on his rail-mounted barbecue. The captain reported that he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upside down in wild cold seas in Northern California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187;Just gotta wonder what they were thinking. Everyone got rescued, but there was probably no good reason why they should have found themselves upside down under their catamaran in the first place. Read the report in Latitude 38. Then comment, critique, write a diatribe or just speculate. BTW &#8211; if you don&#8217;t subscribe to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Island Fox update &#8211; Santa Cruz Island&#8217;s famous residents doing well</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187; Although this particular fox is in the Santa Barbara Zoo, her cousins in the wild are doing very well. I know, anthropomorphism is a bad habit I have, but it&#8217;s easier to care about something soft and furry than slimy and spikey. So in the interests of promoting anthropomorphism, here&#8217;s a link to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Damn, it&#8217;s chilly. Maybe this new clothing optional idea isn&#8217;t that good after all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187;A friend of mine who lives in New Zealand suggested we offer a no-clothes option this season. Frankly, I&#8217;m just happy that June gloom hasn&#8217;t forced us into mucklucks and parkas. The idea is titillating (what a fine word for this exposition), and with air temps getting near 70, some may be tempted. I, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planning on hiking Anacapa? Not so fast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187; Unless you&#8217;ve got climbing gear, you&#8217;re not going to easily get to the top of East Anacapa Island. NPS was actually in front of this problem and had decided to replace the decades-old ladder last spring. Unfortunately, a recent inspection showed that corrosion has rendered the ladder unsafe ahead of schedule. OK, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sailor&#8217;s vacation: go for a sail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Share More&#160;&#187;Hi Shipmates - Lynn and I are off for a week, heading to Prince William Sound. If only this were a sailboat &#8230;. This is a dual purpose mission: vacation and research. I&#8217;m going to school on how this cruise line does the job. It&#8217;s a smallish ship with about 70 passengers. &#8220;A soft [...]]]></description>
