MooMoo Outdoors:
Went out crabbing to Half Moon Bay with Mike (rnrgeek) and Sean (fish67) and also met Don (camodon) at the shore. Weather was beautiful when we launched at 0830 until we dropped out pots in the water around 0930. Then the wind picked up just like that in seconds blowing 15-20 mph and gusting up to 30 mph. In the video you can see how the wind picked up in a flip of a switch. Battled the wind and the surf for 20 mins then decided life is more precious than some crabs. Valuable lesson on how weather can change in a instant. Be safe out on the water.

Glad no one was hurt.
What was the forecast?
FishingAddict:
I've been through similar situations several times. I always have a tow rope with me. I've used it more than once to tow a couple of people back over mile because they were exhausted from the elements. Thank goodness for pedal kayaks.
MooMoo Outdoors:
8-11 mph with 4 feet surf 1 feet wind wave. I expected a little more windy than when we launched but not 30 mph.

Glad everyone is okay! Give FishWeather app a try next time. I checked on Friday and the forecast for Saturday turned big time.
