What an amazing documentary ! I was lucky enough to live in Dana Point since the late 70’s right next to Dana Hills. I think we paid $125k for the house with a pool off of Stonehill. We raced Hobie Cats, rode Jet Ski’s and WALKED up and down the stairs to a virtually houseless Strands beach. Flew r/c gliders, also made by Hobie, on the cliffs above Salt Creek before they built the Ritz. Got many of my first jobs in that harbor…..The boat launch ramp was always bustling with activity and full of active boaters, when I go there now, it’s empty and they are using it as a parking lot for the shops. They were great times. Dana Point has changed. Priced out of Paradise. Bummer……DHHS Class of 87
