Come on in, the water's fine!

Led by none other than John Olguin himself, this year's Polar Bears swim went off with nary a hitch. Olguin kicked off the event with the "Grunion Dance," a tribute to San Pedro's grunion, which nest every year at Cabrillo Beach.

Here are some snapshots from the event, and a 30-second video clip for those of you not willing to brave the water:

Turtles at Cabrillo Beach?

From a story in today's More San Pedro about Harbor Division preparing for New Year's Eve:

The division gets some unusual calls on New Year's Eve, as well. Sgt. Tom Hamilton responded to a call about a "sea monster" one year.
"We received a radio call and the comments were `see the sea monster at Cabrillo Beach,"' Hamilton recalled.
He and another officer responded to the call and found a young couple at the Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse. The couple had been getting, as Hamilton put it, "amorous" on a blanket on the beach when the blanket lifted up and started moving.
"When we looked at the blanket, we discovered this huge sea turtle had laid its eggs in the sand under the blanket," Hamilton said.
They resolved the situation with the young couple, but then had to explain the sea monster to the rest of the LAPD divisions, who can all hear each other's radio calls.
"They were all curious," Hamilton laughed. [link]

It's really too bad the reporter from More didn't get the rest of the story, or did and didn't print it. What happened to the turtle? Did the police notify anyone at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium? What became of the turtle's eggs? What year was it? What does "resolved" mean? Did they get a ticket? Were they arrested?
