A 'pedestrian' photo journey from Coronado to the brewery and back, when you plan to have a few ales including a couple of Shipwreck IPA's and don't drive.....
So the walk to the ferry, the surprise of the spontaneous water-jet pack and Pirate ship interaction on the way across to the 5th Ave Pier, a stroll past the Midway and through Seaport Village across the new, VERY expensive, pedestrian overpass, diagonally across a Petco parking lot to the brewery.
A little 'Tour' of the Brewery which is located at 14th and 'L' Street (1441 L Street) across from Petco Park.
At this time there is no food and the growler project is in progress, on the up side, you are welcome to bring both your two and four legged friends with you!
I enjoyed a few tastes ($1) and pints ($5 ALL except $7 for the Shipwreck IPA), then back to the Convention Center terminal of the water taxi, back to Coronado, a bite to eat with a cold one at Village Pizzeria, then home.

35 The Jet-Pack hovering low in forward motion is powered by a unit that is behind the pilot and supplied the water pressure through the big hose.
36 the power unit becomes visible behind the pilot.
37 From a distance with San Diego skyline, and the pirate ship entering the scene from the left.
38 Pirate ship is approaching.
39 The pirates greet the folks on the ferry (where I am) the jet-pack over the bow and skyline in background.
40 The pirates depart fro a closer encounter with the Jet-Pack
41 Jet-pack low in forward position with its support vessel behind it.
42 .. gaining some altititude...
43 More altitude, as you can see, the elevation is a trade-off for forward motion since the hose is primarily vertical.
44 Height he got but lacks motion to get onto the pirate vessel.
45 ... the forward motion is quickly traded off ...
46 ... for altitude ...
47 The pirates escape and the Jet shows of his maximum altitude.

56 on the bridge an aesthetic variance.

61 Looking back, eastward, shows off the $6 million plus overpass very nicely. If we get a Charger Stadium down here, uit would be worth it!
62 ... water taxi beck ...
