I loved getting the idiots to follow a blue jay through the slot at Stepping Stones.
To the point of the Thread - we also used to swim from the south end of the bay to the south jetty at KP, rest for 20 minutes and swim back - crossing Udalls Cove/Great Neck Estates was the worst part - had to cross open water without any warning to boaters - didn't realize I was training for SF as a kid.

I doubt it was at the same time, I read somewhere that Colonel Sir cut his naval teeth on triremes at Arginusae...
