Stuck in Petaluma until 3:00 tomorrow but free after that. Looks good for a Sherman sunset session.

Crissy! The Beach is packed with sun bathers. You will need to swim out with your lines and have someone stand knee deep off the beach with your kite for a launch. And be ready for a terrible session, including being stuck out in the bay for an hour or more swim, the coast guard is not your personal taxi service.

"the coast guard is not your personal taxi service."

true but maybe our personal TAX service pays for most of it.

Perhaps you crissy kiters shoudl carry a doughnut in a ziplock bag with you just to have as a gift when you get picked up. Maybe we should allhave night of beers at the local CG hangout. I know over here they love the Quinns lighthouse. its a cool place where you can throw peanut shells on the floor. Anyways, without being too off topic, maybe we can find a way to give these guys a round of beers.

Charlie i still owe you an arrogant bastard.

Watch out at places like crissy--the "5 pregnant ladies and 5 babies" rule goes into effect, if you have to ask, it means you're in trouble if you even show up at the beach, no room to kite, and you'll be holding a baby.

Also whats weird is the bay is full of huge jellyfish and seaweed, the sharks seem to be jumping a lot for fun? I saw a huge dead seal carcus floating near the beach, who knows how it died.

they explained this on the news. The warm water causes nutrient rich soil to pull upwards. the marine life knows this is there and comes in to feed off of it. They were saying how there was huge rise in fish for the first time in years because of it.
