Poor Matt, He was humbled.

I don't know what you are talking about?

1.....If you have used a hobie for a long time...YOU ARE SPOILED! I was using Greg's long, sleek topedo looking kayak since mine is out for repairs. That thing was fast and about 12 inches wide. At the end of the day and the uphill battle to get back to shore my arms were screaming at me,

"You stupid idiot! What the hell? We don't work, we haven't worked out in years!"

Let's just say it was a multiple Advil night and I am typing this very gingerly.

My hat off to the guys that use that stick paddle thing, real men!

2.......So I am battling this 4 foot class Hali in the middle of Cabrillo..........YEAH RIGHT! Lets just say that a giant (12inch) wave surprised me and flipped my ass while crossing the channel. After Erick calls everyone to give them the funny news he helps collect all the floaties around me, I flip the kayak and climb back on that thin stick of plastic.

"Did anyone see it besides Erick?" Oh shit there is Greg with a smile on. Damn witnesses.

Where my pliers at? Crap

Where is my knife? Crap

Where is my sinker box? Crap

Where is my (the only unleashed rod) brand spanking new Black Gold 30? Crap

The water was a very comfortable 61 degrees.

I had my PFD on as always, so flipping back up was not a big deal, but just remember always be prepared and leash or stow even the smallest little items.

OH and I did NOT catch a fish.

Believe it or not, it was worse wind today, but it came in later. The beach area looked like a sand storm today. I knew I should have said something about using that extra seat pad as soon as I saw it (sorry Matt). Hope the fish helped nourish those tired muscles lol.

I went to OEX around 11am, the water was full of white caps.

bellcon · 09-04-2011, 05:12 PM

Sounds like you guys had a blast in my backyard...

I just got home,
10 hours on the kayak treadmill called Cabrillo
2 legals and a big fat one that broke my heart in the kelp

One of the highlights of the day was radioing bay watch to rescue a couple of kayakers who were being blown to Long Beach, then while reloading on some bait, Bait barge Bill and I see 4 people walking 3 kayaks back in...
ON TOP OF THE BREAK WALL

actually 2 were carrying one kayak and the other 2 were dragging their kayaks,
wish I could have got a pic
those yaks are going to be recyclables by the time the made it back to the beach

GregAndrew · 09-04-2011, 05:39 PM

Damn, I saw a few people launching yaks on the beach as I paddled in. I thought to myself that they better know what they are doing because in 5 minutes they were going to be beyond range of swimming back. It was easily blowing 20 mph at the time. They are real lucky the surf has subsided some cause they would have never made it back along the breakwall with a decent swell and near high tide. Good lookng out for the rookies Don.

seat pads

i bought one of those
used it once

funny how less then a inch of padding
throws ure balance all off

edit..
sloshing bait tank water can be problematic too
tis why i dont use one
i always seem to come back late when the winds get bad
