Hey Ray, no one here says "rip rap" so I don't think anyone would care - we all here just say ROCKS because that's all there is here - concrete or ROCKS.

I thought you guys in the rest of the world all had shorelines and beaches and banks and natural "stuff" at the water's edge. There is no "natural" here - the shore is fake like everything else in Southern California.

I envy you guys on the lakes and inlets that have beaches and shoreline. Man, what I would give to have a place to beach the boat and have a picnic on a nice sandy beach instead of pulling up to a dock full of basketball stars in their million dollar cigar racers and "BOOM BOOM BOOM" stereos blasting gangsta music all day while I am just trying to get a beer. But that's Los Angeles. I'm just glad Oceanside is not like that, but Oceanside is so tiny there is nothing here so we travel north for excitement. Oceanside is just a place to get your boat out into the ocean. There is no room for anything else and the entire marina is also: 'fake'. All rocks.

Here is that dock in Los Alamitos with the beer place on a quiet day off season:

Here is the Jolly Roger in Oceanside where we often stop for lunch. They let us stay the night there on that dock too:

Boat, feel free to come on down to Florida where you can pull your boat up right close to the shore and you can relax and enjoy the wildlife!

Docking videos, the first one I have used several times especially at crowded docs.

This is how the locals dock around here
