Pigeon Pt. Lighthousepigeon-pt-light-close800.jpg

Many years ago I would drive up Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to San Fransico with my young son to survey the sea conditions before racing my sailboat along that notorious section of coast. I kept him entertained during the drive with stories about monsters that inhabited the region. In stormy weather, Pigeon Point, the location of many shipwrecks, seemed a particularly desolate waypoint during our sojourns along “Monster Row”.
