Newport outside harbor

[Dark_Knight_9C1]

I was out on the south jetty this morning and saw at least a dozen Kayaks going out braving the stiff breeze and 2-4 ft swells. I was thinking of taking my kayak out but was disturbed by the conditions.
I was looking to see how they all did. There was a group of 6 or 8 about a half mile past the bell buoy. There was a few off the end of the north jetty and a few in the kelp south at Crystal Cove.
Wasn't much going on where I was but I did see two whales swim by between the jetty and the bell buoy.
I also wanted to give the guys credit for going out in less than favorable conditions. Cheers!
