Jr. San Diego boasts more than 80 golf courses, including these seaside links at Torrey Pines State Park. I was standing on a waterfront pathway, counting the windsurfers in San Diego's Mission Bay Park, when I stepped forward for a better view. The step put me right in the path of a jogger. My friend John yanked me out of the stampede.
Nobody stands still here.
Twenty-two brightly colored sails had pitched across my view before the interruption, and now I realized they were only a fraction of the water traffic. Catamarans and sailboats threaded among the golds and vermilions of sailboards, which rocked in the occasional wake of a passing outboard. On shore, kids shoveled, sunbathers basked, volleyballs and Frisbees flew through the air. Skateboarders and roller skaters competed with joggers and cyclists. The aroma of broiling hamburgers mingled with the smell of suntan lotion.
