Query: Should be retitled "A Year in Santa Cruz", not the Coast

Author's retelling of historical events is interesting and well-done. The retelling of his first-hand experiences are sometimes confusing and always verbose.Cannot say I would recommend this book. Not sure if there is a point or purpose to this book or his stories.Also the entire book takes place in Santa Cruz area. I imagined with the title the stories would involve the actual California coast.
