I wasn't as fortunate! I launched around 11am and was caught in the thick of it on the water. I ended up anchoring up on some kelp and mellowing out for about an hour just soaking a mac.
About thirty minutes into the fog, a guy and his son cruised up to me in an aluminum skiff asking for help. They launched from mission bay and were fishing the kelp beds but had no idea of their current bearings. I let them know where we were in relation to the shores and the point. They ended up waiting it out right next to me. At one point we discussed the possibility of landing his boat at the shores and calling for a ride to pick up his truck and trailer in Mission Bay. There was no way they were making it back unless the fog broke.
The fog was insane and out of nowhere! I would say visibility was less than 50 yards. I checked weather.com minutes before leaving, no mention of anything besides sunshine in La jolla. I was shocked!
Thanks for snapping the pics!
