THE WITCHES... that famously roam some of California's best-known harbors and marinas just ahead of Halloween, paddling into our October worlds with magical moxie, have pointed their broomsticks for other horizons. This leaves these shore-close areas needing some enchantment, the kind of joy that comes when quirky characters appear, all to bring an additional element of fun and lightheartedness to a hectic time of year. Good thing that a cadre of colorfully attired elves take over the whimsical paddleboarding when the witches depart, delivering salty-air'd smiles and Santa-centered cheer to everyone in the vicinity. We are, of course, ho-ho-ho-ing over the annual Santa Paddle at Ventura Harbor, which is simply this: A bunch of kayakers and paddleboarders wearing Santa- or elf-inspired outfits.
