I noticed an unusual vessel in the water this morning while I was taking a hike at lunch.

Later, I had some free time and wandered downtown to check it out.

I thought about running home and grabbing the boat, but I had to get to work.

Next time, next time.

Here’s another photo of Ledbetter from Shoreline, one of my favorite views in Santa Barbara, and one of the park at Ledbetter:
