First time launching at La Jolla Shores 07/01

[NiksYak]

Launching early a.m. Monday, 07/01 at La Jolla Shores. Just joined BWE. 9 years experience kayak fishing in northern California. Online search indicates 8110 Camino Del Oro is a good launch site, so I can aim for that, or elsewhere, if so advised. Would appreciate company and advice.

Blue Eddyline Caribbean 14'. Orange PFD. I'll be the oldest geezer on the beach, but I can still paddle 7 or 8 miles per day and spend 5 or 6 hrs OTW.

Looking forward to meeting up.

Launch where Avenida de la Playa meets the ocean. That’s the designated launch spot.

Just checked your address - probably close enough, but aim for the street above when you come in.

Thanks, Bruntoj, I'll look for Avenida de la Playa when I arrive.

7-8 miles in 5-6 hours?
Damn I'm still young and I went like 4 miles or so with favorable wind while trying it out in dana today going around looking for that damn pipe for 3 hours (found that I went the wrong way anyway). I was also paddling one of those fat ass tank malibut stealth so maybe I couldn't go fast anyway.

I might head out monday if condition looks favorable. It would be my first time in la jolla with surf launch as well. I would be glad to tag along with you as you also paddle so I wouldn't be left in the dust by those pesky pedal people ( though I might be left in the dust anyway).

Perhaps I should have written 5-6 hrs or 7-8 miles, Quansters.

Hope to see you there.

[NiksYak]

Thanks, Ed. I hope to launch at same time, same place. Hope to see you there. Ill also be on Ch 69.

I probably can’t make it tmr because I am still working to addsome more stuffs on the kayak. Good for everyone going out. I might at the end of the week or beginning of next week instead

If you don't have a FF with GPS and the borders on the chart, here is a photo of what you need to be WEST of, to be OK.

It is very difficult for most folks to know what they are west of without a compass in their hand. Just line up the flagpole with the palm tree just to the left of it in the picture and you will be good.
