WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING OUT ON THE WATER, RENTING AND MANNING A SAIL-BOAT CAN SEEM A BIT DAUNTING TO THE NOVICE SAILOR. BUT A PRIVATE TWO-HOUR SAIL FOR TWO, GUIDED BY A PROFESSION-AL CAPTAIN, TAKES ALL THE WORK OUT OF IT, ALLOWING YOU AND YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE TO TAKE IN THE SEA AIR WITH PANORAMAS OF THE CORONADO BAY BRIDGE AND DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO SKY-LINE. A BOTTLE OF WINE OR SPARKLING CIDER IS INCLUDED. PRICES START AT $245. (619) 424-4000


PUBLIC BATHROOMS MAY NOT OFTEN BE SOMETHING TO CEL-EBRATE, BUT THE NEW COM-MODES IN SPRECKELS PARK WILL LEAVE VISITORS FLUSHED WITH EXCITEMENT. LOCAL ART-IST KIRSTEN GREEN HAS ADDED FLORAL MURALS ABOVE THE SINK TROUGHS, PAYING HOMAGE TO THE ANNUAL CORONADO FLOW-ER SHOW HELD IN THE PARK. GREEN ALSO CREATED THE EX-TERIOR MURALS, WHICH HAVE BEEN RESTORED. BECAUSE CON-STRUCTION WON’T WRAP UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER, THE NEW BATHROOMS WILL ONLY BE OPEN

DURING SUNDAY CONCERTS IN THE PARK. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CITY HAS INSTALLED TWO TEM-PORARY BATHROOMS WITH LOTS OF READING MATERIAL ABOUT CORONADO HISTORY BUILT RIGHT IN. ONE, NEAR THE PLAYGROUND, IS AWASH WITH IMAGES OF TENT CITY’S EARLY 1900 CAROUSEL (STILL RUNNING ADJACENT TO THE SAN DIEGO ZOO); THE OTH-ER IS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE AN EARLY 20TH-CENTURY RAIL CAR RIDDEN BY PROMINENT CORO-NADO FIGURES SUCH AS JOHN D. SPRECKELS, L. FRANK BAUM AND THE SLIGHTLY TRANSPARENT IMAGE OF KATE MORGAN, WHO IS RUMORED TO HAUNT THE HALLS OF THE HOTEL DEL.

And all the other pros you need in your life!

Best New Use of Space: Holland’s BicyclesHAVE YOU BEEN TO HOLLAND’S BIKE SHOP LATELY? YOU’LL FIND IT A LOT EASIER TO MOVE AROUND, FOLLOWING AN EXTENSIVE REORGANIZATION OF THE SHOP, WHICH HAS BEEN A FIXTURE ON THE CORONADO LANDSCAPE SINCE 1924. SINCE KARL AND ZARINA YOUNG PURCHASED IT THREE YEARS AGO, THEY’VE BEEN REVAMPING THE SPACE SO THAT CYCLISTS CAN PEDAL IN AND OUT IN NO TIME. THE REPAIR AREA HAS BEEN MOVED TO A STOREFRONT ON TENTH STREET, MAKING IT EASY TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP BIKES; A BACK ROOM ONCE OVERWHELMED WITH HELMETS AND ACCESSORIES HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A CUSTOMIZED BIKE AND SHOE-
