Freezing my ass off.

I would like to see your yak as I'm looking to buy a tandem, and the Malibu looks like the ticket but I haven't seen one in person. Maybe I will get down there in the morning. Where are you launching from?

I'm launching from "Baby Beach" with a couple buddies, but you'd get a better look in the daylight. I'll be around at least until noon I'd think. Will have my VHF on me too and I'll monitor channels 68-72. It's a small place, so I'm sure I'll find you.

Sorry Harry, but I just got this. Didn't end up going, woke up to stomach cramps.

There's 2 main launch areas, both are off of Dana Point Harbor Drive...
1) The launch ramp is $10 and is a short paddle from the harbor entrance. Take PCH to Dana Pt Harbor Dr. and go left. Turn left on Embarcadero Place and you'll find the gate, bring either 2 $5 bills or a $10. It probably takes ones also, but it would take a while to feed the machine.

2) Baby Beach is free, but a much longer paddle to the entrance. This is located near the end of Dana Point Harbor Dr. If you pass the little pier you went too far.

Thanks Ed, get better for tomorrow. I also go some instructions from Dave Legacy on where to launch so I think when I make it down there I can find it. I'm glad you told me about the $10 charge, I would probably have 20's in my wallet and be locked out. Laura wants to go to Silverwood tomorrow to try for stripers so it looks like I'm fishing fresh water this weekend. Good luck with the shootout tomorrow. Tell Steve I said hello.

That explains why I didn't see you guys out there today. I was starting to feel badly that maybe I wasn't attentive enough to the radio and missed you. Harry, I'll report to you that today was my first solo outing in my P2T and I must say my posterior is quite fatigued and my lumbar area if my back suffered a great deal. This is something I'm not prone to and don't experience when sitting in the typical tandem seating which is more ergonomically sculpted. That said it performed well! Paddle one solo before you commit to buying one.

See y'all next time around.

Amish Ed · 12-03-2015, 05:02 PM

Yeah, it'll be cold. I'll make the call in the morning as my stomach is jacked up. Assuming I make it I'll be on a urban camo t13.

Amish Ed · 12-03-2015, 05:03 PM

Harry, just looked at the weather report. Winds are forecasted to be low, no rain.
