Blown out Paradise and "Pepe le Pew" Ferry Point

1st pic, Paradise at 7:30,   

 Gail Force and a Surf launch, about 6 PB's working hard against the wind...

Also had the Ranger Talk to me as my rig was down by the Pier,  He was Kool But,

Wanted to pass the word to not park on the lawn at "ALL", Guess some sprinklers have been taken out

and the next person to get nailed for that one will get a Government Plumbing Bill,  translation..

 Not very Good and Expensive.....  also, keep it to 3 cars at a time down by the launch and if ya don't know already, no driving down there on the weekends... Ok public Service Announcement Over....

 Bail.... Head back over the Bridge, looks bad and San Pablow bay is Muddy,  I'm pissed, won't be able to fish for another 2 weeks... S#$$#!

 Head over to Ferry Point, Bad too, but I figure I can Hide behind the Pier and Old Ferry Launch and fish some water, Go for it...

 It's so Dammm windy I let go of the Kam strap and my Hobie starts to Take flight!!!  I don't know how I held it down but I did and got the strap back on, parked the rig so the wind was at my back and no problem...

Really nice once I got behind the Break and just hung out

   with nothing to show but I'm out on the Water...

Pb'ers are getting Hammered and are Coming into the Safe House then Back out... then around 10:30...

 FAC...    Work out to some other area's but, this is SF Bay,

Never turn your back and venture too far, keep close and now it is F-Ing Hot, so work my way back to find 2 kayakers working their way out, One is a Older Guy on a Caper towing a Fly Line and the other guy is just paddling in a nice inflatable,  we chat a bit and they start out towards The San Rafael Bridge...

 " Hey Guys, It's been really blowing out here today, ya might want to stay close..."

 "Ya, I heard the wind is supposed to come late this afternoon, besides if it comes up, it will just blow us back here.... "   

 I get back to the launch and the wind that howled this morning from the North East, is now starting up from the exactly the opposite direction....

 Unbelievable,  Friggin Howling for Hours one way, lets up to nothing for a Hour, and then starts up in the opposite direction...

 I noticed them on my drive out past the refinery Pier an on their way to the Bridge,

  Hope they don't make the news....

 I bring this up as a Futher Warning that the

  SF Bay is a Serious animal and deserves a Great Amount of respect.

 I'm one of those that feel the Bay is More dangerous/Deceptive, than the Ocean...

  Glad I got out, even with a Blank to show for it..........

You made the right call heading back.  Hope the other 2 guys are OK!

Exact same story for us at the ARW all day today. It actually got to the point
where it was scary at times. I did not want to fall in the water in that condition.

Jedmo

in other news tomorrow should be just about perfect =)

how was the water at arw? mud city?

The bay, she is a fickle lass. She will show you her heart and then her anger.

It made for a good report anyway.   

Thanx for the early morn heads up, save me some shut-eye!

wind sucks!!  i bailed plan as soon as light hit.....it blew all night long and into the next one too.
