Pirates Invade Redondo

Pirates from the south.

Pirates from the North

Don't think they like each other???

Battle begins! Redondo Beach hosted a Tall Ships event with these 2 Pirate ships shooting real cannons. The video doesn't do it justice. The "BOOM" is a lot louder and you feel the percussion. They fought Sat and Sun from 2:30pm-5:00pm. The little sail boats could run circles around them.

The Battle

Listen to the woman walking by right before they start firing.

Jim's parents 1958

Jim's mom (Shirley) visited us in August 2008. While visiting she gave us this old picture when Jim and Shirley were dating. They were 22 years old at the time. That is Disneyland in the background.
