“Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness." - Werner Herzog
The fog hangs low and a deep grey holds court as we greet Monday morning.Though the potential for stoke is palpable, current levels of H2O are doing no favors and limiting action currently. It seems the usual suspects have paid no heed, however, as the parade of warriors in and out of the still waters continue unabated. Those who can locate the time and place may reap the benefits this day, but that remains to be seen. Keep a watchful eye on the lunar ebb and flow and know your time to strike.
CHANNEL: An emptiness and despair fills one's soul as eyes turn towards the marker, as a wasteland of quiet is all that's being offered. A lone and colorful slider sits astride a log and ponders other matters, as no slides are being had. As day continues, ripples may occur, but they will be of small consequence, and sliders and riders will find what they seek elsewhere.

PATCH: Though a determined and dirty dozen are mining the breakers for stoke and salt this morn, the yield leaves much to be desired, as it seems those doing so are engaging only for the sake of doing so, as shapes and silhouette are sorely lacking. Water levels will increase and bring with it increasing potential for stoke, but those moments lie in a hazy future.
Important Note from the Bolinas Fishing Community:
When heading out the Channel, the fishing boats have a very narrow slot to navigate and the fishermen have to "thread the needle" to avoid having their boats dumped by waves. The boats don't have the ability or opportunity to veer away from oncoming waves and must take them straight on. Surfers - please practice Ocean Courtesy when boats are heading in and out of the Channel and paddle out of the boat's path to let them through. This will also help in avoiding being run over by a boat at speed.
PACK IT IN. PACK IT OUT.
