A large shark breached (not a white) in 10' water in the bay last w/e. It made the cool down swims pretty interesting. It was so f'n hot.

Besides the Great whites we also had a whale shark swim up the beach in 10-20 feet of water. Looked to be about 20' long. Still lots of turtles around too.
Tons of life around Gonzaga now. It was 80-98 degrees while we were there.

Def:not a whaleshark. I was close enough to see teeth. Grrr. We had just launched and starting the commute and it came up and thrashed on mullet right in front of me Gooood morning.

90 was the low.

I'd be lying if said I wasn't scared as it was my first encounter with the TaxMan.

So scared I forgot to mention seconds before we seen the 2nd Great White a nice sized Dorado breezed right by at a fast speed which followed by Carlos letting me know that the Taxman was right behind me. It probably explains why he was hauling ass...

Anyhow be safe out there guys.... Here's a few pics from the trip. Bob's new truck and his chick, some travel pics and what Bob does best on these road trips!

I forgot my GoPro in my kayak at the pad so unfortunately no otw flicks....

Thanks for the pictures, The final total is, 770 miles at $155 and 16.8 MPG, pretty good for a diesel during break in. This is going to be a great truck for Baja or Bust trips. Tight lines.

Sorry I missed the trip but at least I'm on good terms with the missus. So good it looks like she's letting me go to Baja for five days starting Friday
