Yesterday evening, as my wife Jeanne Miller and I were headed to the beach at El Capitan for our nearly-ritual sunset watch, we ran into many emergency responders. Above, State Parks Supervising Life Guard/Ranger Al Fimlaid is at the controls while Life Guard Dion Von Der Leith provides support on the State Parks watercraft. I'm sure all were pleased to see calm seas with a near-glassy surface.
The local State Parks Rangers and Life Guards were joined by the Santa Barbara County Fire Search & Rescue.
Here the first of two County watercraft jet skis were launched in search of a reported downed small plane. I noted that all were very business-like and well-prepared. Check the 'raft' above - with many rope-loops for hand holds for both a rider or many hangers-on. After gearing up with wet suits, lights, fins and other equipment, each person then wore a bright yellow top t-shirt with agency ID.
Iris King, California State Parks Ranger prepares the State watercraft for off-loading. These folks are pros - from Ranger suit to wet suit in just a blink - all equipment necessary seemed to be well at hand and its proper use well-understood.
I found it curious that the sunset was one of the best ones of the spring season so far... and with an anonymous camper's rock cairn a fitting tribute to the downed pilot.More photos and info can be seen at my Flickr site:

Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot these photos of the seach for our beloved brother in law, brother, husband, son, father, cousin and best friend, Steve Birch. One of the most amazing human beings we have all been blessed to know. We would love to talk if you can email us rydintl1@aol.com
Thanks again! --Jim
May Steve rest in peace. Thank you to everyone that participated in the search: it always mitigates the pain when you know everything was done to help Steve. May God bless his wife, sons and family.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to
let you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
