To the Karen at Harbor Island West Marina:…read more My husband walked me to the showers at Harbor Island West Marina. After I finished showering, I was drying off my shower shoes at the first sink in the women's restroom. A Caucasian woman suddenly walked in, chose the sink right next to me--despite several others being available--and aggressively threw her keys or badge near my area. I found it odd, but tried to brush it off. I walked outside and told my husband, who had been patiently waiting for me. She followed shortly after and walked toward the dock area. Before we left, my husband went to the restroom, and I waited. As we approached the parking lot, I noticed her walking toward me again. Before she even spoke, I had a feeling I knew exactly what was coming--like something straight out of the "Karen" TikToks and Instagram videos I've seen. She rudely and aggressively asked, "Do you have a slip here?" I was caught off guard--shocked this was actually happening. She asked again, as if I didn't hear her the first time. I turned to my husband, unsure of our slip number, and before we could even explain, she escalated her tone and said, "Well, I thought it was weird that you were taking a shower and he was waiting for you. Then he goes into the bathroom, and now you're leaving. I've never seen you here before." My husband (a retired police officer), was waiting for me because there was only one badge for entry between us, so it was not weird at all. We told her that yes--we do have a slip. My husband has actually been staying here for nearly three weeks. She continued to insist that our presence was "weird," and said, "I watch out for this place." As a Filipino and person of color, I have never experienced racism so directly. The way she treated us--her assumptions, accusations, and tone--made me feel deeply disgusted and unwelcome. If this is how she treats strangers who don't look like her, I can only imagine how she treats others.

Question: Why during the current multi-month to years long renovation and replacement project…read moreunderway of the entire marina, both on land and on the water, off-site parking and transportation between has not been provided for the 660 odd slip tenants and the commercial spaces served by the existing parking lot now barricaded and closed for the most part to any users. Very strange of the City of San Diego Permitting Process not to require this simple but necessary requirement for tenants not getting a break from the slip fees, the extended stay fees (this Marina's current word salad for Live Aboard Fees), other fees fees fees, etc during the renovation.

Launched from here on my Standup Paddleboard this past weekend in order to see the Sea Lions!…read more There's a ton of parking for cars with trailers only, but there's a row of parking for regular cars, and we found plenty of spots there on a Saturday afternoon in August. We blew up our boards in the lot, and then walked the short distance over to the boat launch. Love the ramp in, there's boats to avoid, but there was only one boat at the time we were going on so easy peasy. Then it was a beautiful paddle just around the corner, under the bridge, and over to where the sea lions are! We hung out there for a while and then had our lovely paddle back. Definitely adding this to my list of great paddle launch spots.

MARINA LOVER (4 stars)…read more Crossing off another Marina I've sailed out from! My list continues to grow: - Glorietta Bay Marina (Coronado) - Embarcadero Marina (downtown) - Safe Harbor Marina (Harbor Island) - Seaforth Marina (Mission Bay) - Sun Harbor Marina (Point Loma) This is not the location where my sailing club is and not the marina I usually depart from. It's actually my first time at this Marina, departing, and docking. Well, you learn quick... wasn't familiar with parking and parked at LOT I for my car and my own safety as we'd be returning from the Ocean in the evening. Ample parking but it cost me about $20 bucks to park here for the day. But had i known just a short walk and the next lot over have cheaper parking for $5-6 for all day parking. Maybe I should have kept that to myself so nobody discovers that. :: SAILING ADVENTURES :: The Marina houses hundreds of yachts and sails (majority owned). Each dock has a security gate so no randoms can come in. We decided to sail out to the Pacific Ocean (usually i stay in SD Bay with my non-sailing friends) but I was with my sailing friends who are all experienced and certified and we took out a larger sail from this marina, 30' Sloop and depart from this location since it was easy to get to the Ocean. Love that this marina is close to the entrance/exit of SD Bay but this area is busy with narrow real estate for us to quickly pull up the main sail after we leave the docks. Sailing in the ocean requires a little more and a large vessel compared to sailing in SD Bay. But I loved every moment of it. Hmm maybe I need to switch sailing clubs. lol

The staff were so attentive and carried our bags up to the upper deck where we spent the evening enjoying lots of food and some margaritas, The boat moored out in front of the Rady Shell and we enjoyed seeing the Sugarhill Gang and Kool and the Gang from the sea. The view was outstanding and this is a great way to see a concert. The staff was excellent, the boat was comfortable and the memories priceless.

From the moment I told him I wanted to exchange it he rolled his eyes and tried to find any excuse not to do it. He told me to come back another day. I told him to try to call his manager so I wouldn't have to drive back since I live 30 minutes away (1hour round trip) and he said "yeah, that's not even that far, just come back tomorrow". He then started helping other people that came in after me and left me standing there. I worked in a customer service/sales field for over 10 years so I know what I'm talking about when I say this kid obviously hasn't been trained in customer service at all. I've always bought my gear from H&M in the past and I will be taking my business elsewhere going forward. This will also be reported to the BBB. 0/10 customer service. Embarrassing.

While I reel mine in, the other guy says his is only "kelp" and tells the deckhand to reel it in. I look, 80% out on a TLD 20. The deckhand tells me to reel it in. I tell him I need surgery on my right shoulder (SLAP Tear, painful). I do reel in. 50-60 BFT on it. "That is my fish" the guy who refused to reel the "kelp" in says. I say no, I reeled it in after he gave it up. Pegasus Captain Alec awards the fish to the other guy. Mr. "Kelp" Guy: "My brother is the Captain of the Royal Polaris."
