Looks like they are sold. I'll delete post when complete. Sorry to those who responded after number 1

I have two extra handheld VHF submersible radios, both working well and batteries which have not been charged in 2 years still at full charge.
Both are Uniden, but one is branded WestMarine.
$50 each,$90 for the pair. I am in Novato.

The North Beach is really tricky..  Getting out of the water would be incredibly hard.  The sand slope below the water line is very steep and it has direct exposure to the NW swell. It has a fierce undertow and the pure sand structure crumbles under your feet if you are walking up under the water and you can't beach a kayak.....too steep.
I spoke to a NPS surf rescue ranger about it one day.

Name that predator.
Was at Nick's cove a couple of weeks ago and saw the most amazing pelican attack.  It went on for at least 45 minutes, moving up against the shore and then out a bit. there were scores of birds. The water is pretty shallow thru here.
I assume there was a large number of anchovies being herded, but I don't know what was chasing them.  I didn't see any seals in the water so I assume it was halibut or salmon but there are probably a lot more halibut around.  I used to fish a good sized run of coho in the bay years back.
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I only had my iPhone.
I was out having an anniversary dinner and fishing was out of the question.
Any one ever fish conditions like this or know what was happening?
