Marina del Rey in California

Okay, so maybe it was one too many Strawberry Daiquiris on the beach at sunset… or maybe just way too many
Cheeseburgers in Paradise.  No excuses, Professor beach got FAT! 225 lbs FAT.  After years of exploring and enjoying beaches around the world it just wasn't fun anymore. No more fun because when I got to the beach I was ashamed to take off my shirt. Ever feel that way?

My last beach exploring trip to Florida really did it. I just sat in a beach chair under an umbrella. Didn't even want to swim or walk on the beach because I was just too uncomfortable in my skin. Just too much of me “in my skin”. Fast forward two months and I'm down to 205 lbs and on my way to a fit and healthy lifestyle. Join me on my pursuit of health and once again walking the beach with my shirt off.   Watch my progress and see how I did it here.

Marina del Rey is a seaside unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, California. Its Fisherman’s Village offers a view of Marina del Rey’s dominant feature as one of the largest man-made small boat harbors in the U.S., with 19 marinas with capacity for 5,300 boats. The harbor, the Los Angeles Times said in 1997, is “perhaps the county’s most valuable resource.”

Yesterday, Abby Sunderland, a 16 year old sailed into the Pacific Ocean to attempt to sail around the world in her 40 foot sailboat.

Her family and fiends cheered at the Del Rey Yacht Club as they watched her 40-foot craft called “Wild Eyes” depart.

She has been on the water with her family all of her life. She plans to be at sea for five or six months. She will be alone but will be able to communicate via satellite telephone and bloggung.
