Looking for something interesting this weekend? The Point Fermin Lighthouse in San Pedro just turned 130 years old this week and was recently opened after a lengthy restoration. It's located in the midst of a nice park on the bluffs just below the Korean Peace Bell and near the Fort MacArthur Museum.
On the other hand, if you're into post-industrial aethetics Tom Vanderbilt at Design Observer has a piece on exploring the old Bethlehem Steel plant.
Finally, if you enjoy sailing, or just following record-breaking voyages, British sailor Ellen MacArthur is currently attempting to set a new world record for a single-handed circumnavigation non-stop (that means 26,000 miles around the globe without a port o' call) in the 75-ft trimeran B&Q. She has until February 9 to cross the line between Ushant, France and Lizard, England. All the action is being relayed via the Team Ellen website complete with webcams and all the navigation station info.
