Dana Adobe /Dave Stamey Concert

Restoring and re-plastering the old adobe

What Captain Dana would have seen while standing in his living room.


What Captain Dana would have seen from his back (front?) porch.


What Captain Dana would have seen standing in his back (front?) yard looking back towards the house. 




What Captain Dana would have driven to town in.

The ghost in the air above the pepper tree is that of the Old Vaquero who once rode for Captain Dana.  And in the foreground,  new adobe bricks for the ongoing restoration.

Dave Stamey

 If you're not familiar with Dave's music, go to You Tube and watch a few of his videos: "The Old Vaquero," "Wheels," and "Come Ride With Me."  Lovely. And next year, if Dave's performing at the annual fund raiser for the adobe, come on out and see how much has been done to save this amazing bit of Old California.

Landlubbers! Boatzart in baywood
Concert at 12:00 baywood pier


instructions below are for the "paddle in" which starts from Morro bay maritime museum in five minutes (-5 minutes?).
"Will you attend? Sunday July 31, 2011 Boatzart on the Bay - 2011 Series Concerts on the Baywood Pier. The musical group is called "The Gilly Wheesels", a Scottish group with pipers... sponsored by Bill Lee, the owner of the Back Bay Inn and Coffee Shop. A second concert is scheduled for August 28, 2011.
Put in at Morro Bay Marina below the Museum. Be in the water and ready to go at 10AM. We'll paddle past Shark Inlet before landing at Baywood pier for the concert which starts at Noon.
There will be many paddlers this day, but we will launch before many of them, so parking should be ok early. If you paddle with our group, remember "Boat participants are required to wear properly fitting Coast Guard Apv'd PFD's, and must state that they are able to perform unassisted self-recovery from a capsize. Sit-on-top kayaks are thus recommended. Sit-inside kayaks must have bailing equipment and fore and aft flotation chambers or secured flotation bags. Signal devices (e.g., mirror, whistle), cell phone or marine radio, and tow ropes front rear, are recommended. New paddlers welcome. We are mature people paddling mostly sit-on-tops and some closed-deck (sit-inside) kayaks, and recently, stand-up paddle boards, with an occasional canoe when conditions permit. We like to paddle together on the water observing wildlife with respect. Liability Disclaimer: Organizers assume no liability or responsibility for you. We are not professional guides or instructors.
