4-15 Cabrillo with a Legend, an Elite and a Champ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

that was a fun day OTW, as most are even when it is slow, although it was a bit lack luster due to the fact that Matt forgot to charge his radio, so we missed out on the usual constant back round comedic chatter...

some other interesting happenings that day, Matt...didn't your mom tell you not to play on the freeway? and I wish I had a picture but, a loaded China Shipping Company cargo ship came through, I look over and there is Matt, in what appeared ,from where I was, very very close to being run over by about six football fields of imported truck trailers, and no way to radio him to say "heads up", a little unnerving, I was on the opposite side of the harbor so I can't tell exactly how close, but if you have ever been near a big ship in a little kayak, they all look close...
Anyway it was great seein everybody as usual and just having fun...

We were very safe, well outside of the shipping lane markers. Maybe the angle or the size of the ship made it look closer.

I need a spare radio, just to make sure I can entertain all day long!

Congrats on the Hali....I wanted to meet up for this trip, but had to watch the kids..looks like Matt stuck with fishing this time and didn't take you on one of his magical voyages.
