This would be an interesting trip but I don't think I'd have chosen the kayaks they chose to paddle it. Looking at the specs they seem more like fishing kayaks than ocean touring kayaks (or surfing kayaks - which is what they did a lot of but not on purpose). Nor do I think I'd have taken a Leica camara along! I'd be interested in what some of the s. calif contingent has to say about this trip.

GP "testing" (seen briefly at the end of the Day 3 clip) seems not to have been sufficiently convincing to cause more extensive use. I wonder why that was ... awkward sit-on-top paddling position perhaps?

This is last minute, but... Our northern California sea kayaking club, Explore North Coast, has rented Camp #3 at the Mendocino Woodlands (www.mendocinowoodlands.org), and we find ourselves with quite a few beds left (4 beds per tent-cabin). If you're in the area, and want to come paddling and camping with us, then please do! Use their website to find directions, then ask for Georgianna when you arrive at Camp #3. It's only $100 bucks for the whole 5 nights -- Thursday afternoon, August 16 through Tuesday morning, the 21st. Ya'll Come! -G *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
