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.

funny
i was just reminiscing today about my time paddling back to cabrillo from the lighthouse and the wicked wind that almost gave me no ground.
was prob my toughest hour or 2 of paddling ever

There is a reason that Cabrillo is world famous for sailboarding.

[jorluivil]

Greg, you and Matt couldn't have left a minute sooner.

My entire body is sore from the bumping, the thumping and the peddling and why does the peddle back always seems longer when you have no fish on board? This is the worst I've ever seen it, we had a few moments where wakes were coming from no particular direction. When I finally landed my legs were weak but it was nice to be able to stretch, I was in the water from 530ish until 2pm.
