Hi Al,
I'll try and get some underwater hull immages Thursday.  I'll do a topside inspection/measurements/identification and photo set as well.

Hi Brian!  No I wasn't given much information, just a few photos.  My buddy Eli consults for the City of Oakland as a limnologist and is working on Lake Merrit where the boat is located.  Eli and I are crabbing in his motor boat Thursday in Tomales so I think I can stop by the sail boat and get more information on it.

Does it come with a trailer?

No, just the boat.

It's probably been done before in that size boat, but I wouldn't want to sell that thing to Hawaii. It is free. The city of Oakland carries paperwork on it.

I haven't seen this boat. It's located at Lake Merritt in Oakland. My buddy a limnologist that I work with has access and lives nearby. So, if anybody is interested, let me know and I will hook you up.

Tuoulmne River  - Sacramento pikeminnow - you just can't hate on a native salmon muncher when we have soooooo many nonnative salmon munchers.

I registered a Feel Free Moken a couple of years ago and went through the same hell.  I probably shouldn't have.  HAS ANYONE EVER BEEN TICKETED FOR HAVING A MOTOR ON A KAYAK AND NO REGISTRATION?

Fish Talk / Re: Turtle in SF Bay?

I vaguely remember that story. This is not that.....  Flat smooth carapace vs rounded plated carapace. How about those front legs – free dive flippers vs mitten claws.  We are over run with invasives.  But wait, last year ~12,000 Mahi-mahi harvested in southern CA.  that's about 8,000 more than any previous year.  Wait till they start showing in the Bay, we probably wont complain about the lack of salmon any more......

That is a red-eared slider.  A nonnative FW turtle.  Our river systems are full of them.  I counted over 200 at Fox Grove on the Tuolumne River one sunny afternoon last year.  Some were bigger than a dinner plate, some no bigger than a can of chew.  Many of the rivers are making pre-flood releases (10,000cfs) where normal flows range between 100cfs and 500cfs this time of year.  It makes sense to me that numerous FW turtles are taking a ride on the flows and ending up in the Bay.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has released an updated fish advisory issued today for San Francisco Bay that provides safe-eating advice for 18 fish species, including new “do-not-eat” advice for Mississippi Silverside, Pacific Sardine and Topsmelt. Additionally, no one should eat fish or shellfish from Lauritzen Channel in Richmond Inner Harbor.
OEHHA developed the recommendations based on the levels of mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in fish caught from the bay. The “do-not-eat” advice for all fish in the Lauritzen Channel located in Richmond Inner Harbor remains in effect from the previous advisory due to high levels of dieldrin and DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its byproducts).

If you have any questions about these advisories, please contact OEHHA at fish.advisory@oehha.ca.gov.

Count me in too, home again home again.

At work I snorkel in 48-56F water comfortably all day. I use the same wetsuit gear when I kayak in the ocean because I know I can swim in it for a long time in cold water. Expect the worst, survive to fish another day. I wear a 7 mm aqualung farmer John, a hyper flex 1.5 mm top it’s a pull over it’s just like a sweatshirt without a hood, NRS socks NRS boots, and a NRS paddle life jacket. If you wanted to be really safe you would have a hood and gloves attached to the back of your life jacket somehow that didn’t get in your way. And a compass and whistle. Find it used, barter, go on the cheap, but test it first.

Would anybody from Monterey care to interpret the swell and tide that’s predicted as far as it affects launch and landing?
