Excellent video. Twenty years ago, I went there on a 36 foot sailboat in a local race. Looks like not much has changed and that is good. We were too busy setting the spinnaker to get a good look. Thanks.

Darin, I think you are right when you say, "Perhaps Mr. Nelson, the builder, did not "step down" his lot as he should have..."

I live a few blocks from the newly created Montara wetlands. When it was "dry" land, I hiked through the area every evening. Now that the area has been changed, I am wondering about the water that will be in the big hole that was created. What will be the source of fresh water flow for this wetland? Will this water drain through a pipe under Highway 1, down to the ocean? Or will this water be stagnant, non-flowing water? Since mosquitoes breed in standing stagnant water, I am wondering what will…
