Cabrillo 3/15
Got skunked yesterday, but was weather was perfect with no wind til after 1pm. Made bait and worked it all the way to Queens Gate. Boat traffic picked up around noon. Highlight of the day was when a gigantic luxury yacht buzzed me at about 30-40 feet. They were so close that I could clearly hear them laughing at me as they passed. I positioned myself to take on the wake and survived without incident. The best part though was that the coast guard vessel saw the whole thing and chased down "Richie Rich" and the rest of his crew. I got my laughs in at that point. Coast guard returned to check up on me and let me know that "that guy was a jerk for doing what he did" and he went over to let him know. Not sure if he actually cited him, but at least he was told that he was wrong for doing it. When the coast guard vessel came back to check on me, they even asked if I lost any gear. I wonder if the yacht's captain would have been liable if I had?
Thanks USCG! |
