South Bay Newsletter (June 24th)

News, events, and the inside scoop on the greatest place on earth.

What’s up SB peeps!

Holy crap has it been beautiful.

Feels like summer is in full swing.

You love to see it.

Here’s what’s good in the SB this week 👇

This kid might be a “Bear Grylls” prodigy

Imagine you’re 4 years old.

You’re on a camping trip with your parents.

You have a slim jim in your left hand, and your over-priced mini water canteen in your right that mom bought you with her “25% summer flash sale” coupon. All is good in the world.

But then, you see a butterfly. It’s beautiful. So you chase it.

And before you know it, you’re all by yourself in the middle of the Sierra National Forest. Quick — what do you do?

You search for clean water. You gather berries. Squirrels eat out of your hand. You befriend the bear. You build a shelter using the limited knowledge you have from watching “Survivor.” You and the wilderness are one.

Long story short — that’s what happened to this 4-year old boy.

Minus the bear thing. And the squirrel thing. And the shelter thing.

Still, kid’s got a future in survival reality TV.

Mad props to the rescue teams that found and saved our future superstar.

Food 🍦

What’s better than summer sun?

FREE frozen yogurt in the summer sun.

Wanna Chill” is giving out free frozen yogurt on Thursday, June 27th to celebrate National Frozen Yogurt month.

Idk if you have someone like this in your life, but my wife notifies me of every obscure holiday. It’s astounding how many there are.

But this is one I can get behind.

Go get you some free frozen yogurt!

It’s more healthy than ice cream, right?

Local Business Spotlight 💡

When I think of summer, I think of boats.

I mean, is there anything better than chillin’ on a boat with your friends, sun shining off the water, wind in your hair, enjoying some cold drinks and fire tunes?!

Well, I guess it’d be better if I actually owned the boat and was filthy rich…but I digress.

If you want that feeling — check out South Bay Sailing.

They do sailing lessons, charters, and more.

As long as the boat doesn’t sink, it’s hard to imagine you wouldn’t enjoy it.

Brb, gonna take some swimming lessons just in case.
