I was wondering though, how much does "sound reasoning and good judgement" cost?  And, if no one dies, gets bit by a shark or rescued by the coast guard, how much fun is it? 

Some of my most memorable and exciting kayak trips have been when the conditions were dangerous and unforgiving.

The time with ChuckE crabbing at Pacifica when the seas were 12' faces and I decided to side saddle my yak and eat a ham sandwich making Chuck woozy watchin me.

Then another time with Chuck and Freddie in a torrential downpour at dumbarton railroad trestle.  No sturgeon that day but a learning experience nonetheless.

Anyhoo, I've been without internet for a month and I just got back online.  Did I miss anything big?  jtf..

I am going to break that Safety stuff out into a separate article at some point. That was my lame attempt at some Xmas gift ideas.

Glad to have you back on board JTF.

Right on Guys on the YT's, I'm going back to check out posts and I realized there hasn't been alot of wide open bites.   :smt012 Oh well, time to start chasing sturgies I suppose.   :smt003  Heh heh! 

Bill, the safety gadjets do deserve their own page, a  must read page to say the least, we should throw the shark shield on there.  :smt002  Well then, I'm off to ebay. :smt006

Just butterflied a huge amount of fish, so I have quite a few pounds of great crab bait, but I got to do the smoking on Sunday. If your going north, stop on by after and grab yoself a peice of candy.
What are up to Friday? I was thinking of dinos, but would go for some bugs instead.
