The bike ride down to the beach today was refreshing. Not too windy, perfect amount of sun, and of course the not-so-humid air. After being in Hong Kong for so long I think any other percent of humidity would be lower than it was there, sweating walls and all. Anyways, I saw a number of dolphin playing in the surf today, what a wonderful site. Somehow seeing led me to think about the upwelling of ocean in this area and how the water is just so freezing cold. This is an area where all the nutrients from the decayed materials on the bottom of the ocean get cycled back into the system as food. ... ... I guess that was all I wanted to say about that.
Pacific ocean of the coast of southern California is where upwelling occurs, this is why the water here is so cold (the same temperature as the Atlantic ocean on the northern east coast).
