Had a tough day at work and had a few hours of free daylight so ran down to the beach with the kayak and a few beers.
 :smt004

Windy and fast drift, but REALLY enjoyed just getting out on the yak and watching the sunset from the water.

Hoping for a flattie, but no such luck...a few Rockies (promptly released) and a decent buzz was all I caught.
 :smt003

Anyway, here are a few pics of the view.

Sincerely,

Jim

Looks like a nice day on the big blue.  Thanks for the report and beatiful sunset pictures Jim.

People really get to hit the Big Blue when they get off work early  :smt107
I thought that only happened in dreams and movies.

Got off at 4, picked up my daughter from daycare, drove home and hung out with her until the wife came home around 6, then walked the yak down to the beach!!!    :smt003

Capitola is a nice place to live....now only if we could afford to buy a house here!! :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
