Getting soft in my old age.  The plan was to land at the beach in Santa Barbara.  But after struggling mightily to get above White Ledge the thought turned to any ole beach.  Got to the west end of the powerline ridge in good shape, but after my experience in Ojai the thought was that continuing on might be a struggle, especially when I couldn't see anyone ahead of me.  Opted to fly out.  I headed for Santa Claus lane but it was too crowded to land so I turned tail to Bailard.
