Last weekend, there were a bunch of people north-side of the pier, banging away at it...

I headed up north with some friends to check out some volleyball tournament action, hosted by VB Ventures.  I forgot my video cam, of course, but I was able to take some pictures of late round playoff matches.  There were four skill levels, these were from the second best group. Second place went to Krysti and Oakley:
Finalists: Krysti and Oakley

Champs: Kerri and Glenn

A couple of months ago, there was an attempted kidnapping in Redondo Beach.  A woman was approached by several men in a white van, asked for directions, then tried to snatch her into the van.  The same thing just happened yesterday here in Hermosa Beach, and the authorities think the two incidents are related. Be careful out there! Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call Hermosa Beach police Detective Dorothy Scheid at 310-318-0360 or Redondo Beach police Detective Fabian Saucedo at 310-379-2477, Ext. 2481. Here are sketches of the suspect(s?) (the Daily Breeze picture is completely different from the one they show on the tv news clip.):

The full details are on the Daily Breeze's website, and here's a clip from the local news. Thanks to Gaby for pointing this story out to me.

Another beautiful weekend in Hermosa Beach, this time with a party on the pier to celebrate the latest inductions onto the Hermosa Beach Surfer's Walk of Fame.
