You know you're being humored when people tell you that you're a good paddler and you almost made it out through the surf. That's code for "OMG, what happened." As I was paddling into the surf, I felt a little conflicted. I heard shouts of "go, go, go" and "hold where you are" and "stop!" So, I did what anyone would do. I didn't do anything -- bad decision. Anyway, I was prepared for the surf launch because I wore a semi-dry top and my helmet. To add salt to the wound, Tsunami Chuck (a.k.a. Samisen Chuck) successfully negotiate the surf with only half of a paddle. Shish! Ken and Mark did a good job with the Herbrew National hot dogs with gourmet wheat buns and room temperature catsup and mustard. Yum. The food tasted great. The weather was perfect and the company was marginal (lol). It really was a lot of fun. Hope more folks will join us for the next Pig Town Jig. However, next time I vote for having the picnic at the Coast Guard beach -- no surf launches or landings. A message from Barb Tomita In a message dated 5/15/2008 12:42:00 A.M.
