Should have launched at La Jolla

I was out there with Jimmy - getting it on video was the last thing on my mind. Survival was the top priority. He mastered those waves/swells. I was wondering if he was going to get flipped - glad he didn't. Glad I didn't need to make a request for a rescue on 16 - if I could even get my hands off the paddle to grab the radio. Jimmy's bar for handling rough conditions were pushed a few notches up. Well done.

Thanks Mike, it was a lot of work and a huge test of my patients and abilities. I honestly feel like I can take on anything after that. I'm alive, I was able to fish a little in the bay, and I'll be out there again sometime soon. I however know better about when to take on the Jetty mouth, and when the weather is bad, that's not a good time.
