I’ll be there but not bringing the kayak.  Are there any clamming spots near The Cove?  There is a nice minus tide on the 11th.

Welcome back Ken.

I also have AAA.  They insured me when State Farm wouldn't after moving to Sebastopol 4 years ago.  Not cheap, but maybe not more expensive than others.

Visiting Mendocino today and saw this Jackson kayak on top of a pile of driftwood down a cliff in the bay.  It would be quite a task to get it out.

I was fishing in my Outback at Rancho Seco when I was passed by a large, cheap, inflatable with a small outboard holding 7 youngsters having a great time.  A couple of hours later I was heading back in and I see the inflatable with two of the kids paddling like crazy with small canoe type paddles but the wind was pushing them backwards.  Their inflatable had flipped and the motor came off. 
I could tell they would not be able to make it back so I volunteered to tow them the three blocks back to their launch point.  With the wind in my face it was much more difficult than I had planned on but we made it and said goodbye.
The next morning I felt like I had strained my abs from all the hard pedaling.  A week later I was diagnosed with inguinal hernias on both sides.  One of which had already been repaired six months earlier but needed it again.

I went to High School with the guy who named the Chilean Sea Bass.  Nice guy.
