Good to hear
You made it back safely . A compass would not be such a bad idea. I carry one. Spent a couple bucks at sports chalet on it. Not sure if it is even worth that. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Fishing north @ 250-300' puts you in the path of the Catalina flyer. That motherF'er moves so fast it's hard to get out of the way, also they don't slow down when passing kayaks. Even on a clear day. Dicks.

Thanks for the report. It's always good to see the reports of bad days too.

It was the same thing yesterday. I seemed to have run into the bad trio. The drift was horrible. The FOG that came in was horrible leaving very low visibility, I managed to keep my eyes on the buoy so I knew which way home was and the Flier zoomed by only to blow their horn at us and grace us with some sea sickness worthy waves.
