Racoon Straights

  Spent the night on the boat and after breakfast out launched at the crack of 10:30 am!  I really wanted to get up early and be out at sunrise and even was up at 5 am but a bottle of wine last night and being up a bit later then planned got the better of us and so it goes.  It was so nice out we decided to make the trek across the straights to Angel Island and Ayala Cove.  Lots of bait right outside the Sausalito harbor and dragged a few of those for a few minutes but the plan was to get across if we could, and there is not time like the present!  I trolled along the island and into the cove for nothing.  We stopped and had a nice lunch and after a few more minutes of fishing headed back across and glad we did.  It was pretty rough for us but not too dangerous, but lots of boat traffic and later it was way more windy, so safely back is safely back!   I know I have caught stripers at Angel in the shallows this time of year, but not today!  

Looks like a nice day on the water anyway.

 

 Forgot this picture of a future NCKA'er.  His dad owns a large sail boat near my boat and we came walking along and saw him standing in the boat chugging from his bottle and standing there by himself.  The motor was running and his mom and dad were only 10 yards away but thought it was great that they had faith in him.  It made me think of all the parents that coddle their kids and make them unable to handle anything later in life.  This kid looked like he belonged on the water already! 

Zin, is that your boat? That is very nice. lokks like glassy water. Go get em' next time.

Talk about mothership, Holy Cow!  You're not holding out on us are you?

  We have put both Yaks on her a few times but usually we use the boat or the yaks not both! 

She's a beauty Zin. May I please be on your list whenever you decide to mother
ship?
