Joe Walsh relives a wild adventure with David Crosby at San Clemente Island. What the heck happened?

West of the West presents Tale Bites.
Joe Walsh recounts when he and David Crosby lobster- dived at San Clemente Island. They surfaced to find the Navy asking them to leave the island. After a negotiation (involving a case of beer) David Crosby was able to secure a spot next to the Navy’s Patrol Boat. Joe Walsh had no idea what would happen next.

How much I can relay myself to this wild story! As a ex navy destroyer 25 Mike Mike handler, now a channel island fisher and spearo, and a musician!

1:38 that's no battleship. Man I wish I could've sailed with Crosby, even for a couple of hours

[@talesfromchannelislands]

Stand in line! Nice enough to meet him once…

[@elmo1119]

OMG! Poor Joe! lol

[@talesfromchannelislands]

He barely escaped!

[@elmo1119]

@Tales from Califorina's Channel Islands lol seemed like it... lol Love and look up to Joe so much! He truly is one amazing human being. I only became a huge fan of his about 6 years ago. Long story on how I "discovered" him but I'm glad I came across him and his music. Seems like he had been through a lot throughout his life but am so glad he is now happy and still playing music. Only got to see him play once back in 2018 with the Eagles but now wish I could see him play a solo concert.

That's funny they did that to you. They did that to us. Also on the way when we didn't listen to and went through the clothes section of a live fire shoot, the naval self-defense test ship center drone 100 ft right over the top of our boat. That's where traveling in tracked us😮😊

Oh No!
