Lesson learned Oyster Point!

Monterey chasing ghosts, ripping current and strong off shore wind. If you stopped paddling, you lost 100 yards. ...

That offshore wind in Monterey can be brutal!

Been there. I thought I was gonna die from exhaustion 

At least you were pedaling. I was paddling.

You are an animal Tim. I've never seen anyone paddle I harsher conditions as you. 

Except that day we towed him back in Shelter Cove while he had his fish dangling on the side creating all that drag  if I remember correctly, you still haven’t paid Herb N’ Smokey’s Towing Services 

That was my plan B.

Thanks for all the good advice! I will be more prepared next time!  If anyone is planning a trip to OP give me a heads up, I'M READY TO TRY AGAIN!
