Hey all, wanted to introduce myself. I've been fishing and ab diving the Sonoma and Mendo coast for a couple years now. I don't have a yak but am shopping around for one-- can't wait to explore and access new reefs and kelp beds. Anyway, thanks for letting me join this forum. y'all seem like a nice bunch  :smt003
Do yourself a favor and get to headwaters Kayak in lodi sunday morning 9:30ish for the swap meet. Bring track shoes and grab the tag off a heavily discounted or consigned kayak. Probably the best price you'll find. Welcome to the group and watch out for Raydon!!!  :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
my new name should be Ostridge. Got my head in the sand. Going fishing and letting go of the other stuff I can't control anyway!

Weimarian, thanks for the tip on the swap meet! I"ll try to check it out... I'm new to kayaking and not sure what I'm looking for though. Do you know if they let people demo boats?

Hey Ginger, do you happen to have a friend named Mary Ann? If so, were you two ever on a 3 hour tour (a 3 hour tour) that went horribly wrong?

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Welcome aboard Ginger. :smt006 Most of us has loaner kayaks so if you see a hookup that you are interested in joining, just ask to borrow. I'm sure you'll get plenty of offers.

Welcome- look for a green double yak out there. Half the time one of my daughters, Dana, will be out there spearing or ab diving with me. She'd love to see more women out there! Good luck!
