I think I might beable to do a group day event on the base side of San O beach which would give parking going to call and see what I need to do to make it happen on Monday. I'm going to plan for ten right now and see how it works out. May beable to add more spaces after the fact but going to plan it for 10 as of right now.

We did this route years ago. Awful weather - go figure. That's about all I remember. Oh yeah, one of the crew lost a hatch cover and nearly sank in the rough conditions. If anyone else has a better memory of how we got it done, I hope they'll chime in. I loved every one of those PFA shuttle trips.

Good times PAL. Memory Lane...My Brother Loco Pescadores.
Eagle Eye almost sinking, Bing saying F' this and turning around at San Clemente...
Both times we did Dana Point to San'O were BRUTAL.

Windy, sloppy and nasty...about 12+ miles
Fantastic BBQ @ San'O when we all got there.
btw- the VERY best cerveza I ever had on the water...TWO of your Tecate's!!

I'd do another Dana to San'O Paddle~N~Fish fer sure!

*It worked well for us. Everyone meets up at Doheny EARLY, unloads kayaks & gear, caravan / drive cars to San'O. Carpool back to Doho...THE FUN BEGINS.

Couple additions. They might have Beach Club shut down when/if they start construction at the entrance to the beach. You will only be able to access through the state beach side. Saying you are there to surf without a sponser can result in some interesting comments and a u-turn. You might want to meet at the gate before heading down.

I've launched down there a few times and have the best luck by the blue crappers where the rocks are exposed on a low tide. I recommend a two foot swell or some brass clankers.

I am in the middle of looking to buy a house and was told today by the boss there is to be no all day fishing trips. So this will have to be put on hold till she finds the house she loves. Lets hope for my sake its sooner than later
