daycation in marina del rey (paddleboarding, water bus, fisherman's village, etc.)

Paddleboarding on a sunny day!

(Marina Del Rey, USA).  Like most Californians, I live only about 20 minutes from the beach and yet I rarely ever venture to the westside to enjoy the ocean.  I think most people assume all Californians spend their days on sandy beaches being tanned and sporty, but that is really only true for a tiny percentage of people who are lucky enough to live right next to the water.  But now that summer is almost over, I was determined to enjoy my proximity to the ocean.   And what better way to do that then to give paddle boarding a try?
