Winds were howling at my place late saturday night/early sunday morning. Figured that was a bad sign, as that was the case last weekend when another kayaker got blown off of County.
Gotta love that news link though. My critical reading skills deduce that the Lifeguards now have some form of hybrid helicopter/squid boat/jetski type watercraft at their disposal for rescuing kayakers. Makes me feel much more safe when paddling out. Silbaugh, glad you got your YT and came outta there unscathed. And yes, the fish are definitely fattened up on squid right now. Might as well freeze all that and save it for bait next time. haha. |

All b.s. Aside.
I had similar experience when I first started kayaking . It was at b.k.r. . Winds supercharged through canyon at 30 - 50 mph . Very similar to county . I was 50 yards off shore and crapping my pants . I flipped in 2-3 ft surf when I landed . My blade of mirage drive touched sand , turned my yak and I rolled . I was paddling and peddling and making very little head wind . This experience humbled me , and I learned after that about checking wheather . The weather is or can be unpredictable . But the this situation was well predicted . Why would you even think of going out there in such conditions ? I woke up for work and was out door at 1:00 am . In the sf valley was was gusting 15 - 30 mph . Peddling in 12 -15 mph is doable , but paddling could be really exhausting . Given the harzardous wheather statement or outlook . Staying home could have saved the taxpayers some money on wasted resources . This would have been the wisest idea .
