Capitola Converted Yakker Checking in

I'll look for you when I launch out of Capitola, not far from my home in Live Oak.  I've never launched form the wharf, I guess I'll have to give it a try - it always looks like a tossup between rolling up the steep narrow ramp and the steep sandy road- just about the limit for pulling my yak and gear up the hill if I make a sling to put over my shoulder to pull with.
  Gloves- just to keep the hook and spine sticks down, I wear the thin black nitrile covered ones that you can get at Pro Build on 41st - I can tie knots with them on if I get them one size smaller than for gardening. You can get a hook through them, but you really have to push.

Be careful paddling under the pier.  One big swell can crash you into the pilings. I always paddle around the pier since one of my buddies got thrashed.

Reveiving my hobie today. Will spend tomorrow prepping it, and looking to take it out Sunday, minus fishing gear. Can't wait!

Sent you a PM about Capitola skiffs!  Thanks!

If you need any tips on the best way to pull this off just ask Sin Coast     

Oh and WTTM
