Yes, this magical moment was captured at the 2014 Downtown Holiday Parade. No, that is not Sir Walter Harris jamming on the sitar.

You Are Correct Sir

Cross it!

The family went to the 100th birthday festivities honoring the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf more than a year back and I snapped these pics of a re-visioned wharf of the future that I suspect may never be built or get past visioning....but hey, they made this awesome model anyway.

I snapped these pics because I was truly inspired by what they represent. After thinking about them for more than a year I'm even more inspired now. I think a lot about the ferry, and where it will go. I imagine riding on it across the bay sometimes.....taking a day trip to Monterey, or going to dinner in Moss Landing. I dream sometimes even of being the captain of this fantastic vessel (even though I have no nautical skills or capabilities). I have time to dream about these things.

I keep wondering why it's not happening. Is it the politics? Is it for the sanctity of the marine sanctuary? Is it waiting for someone with vision and bucks to make it happen? Do they think it's just easier to drive around the bay....why cross it? Why cross it? Hmmmmm.

I'm pro-ferry!
