Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
“An unlocked door mean that, occasionally, you might get a devil come in, but a locked door means you have thousands of angels just walk by." - Ian MacKaye
Yet another morning that brings a nettled mist and fog just off the deck. It is the kind of morning that begs one to stay in bed and find a stillness, and yet many seafarers have other intentions. Though temps will hover only around their current mark of 58F, parking is already nil, and the neoprene-clad warriors are striding into the murk at all measures. The tide is key this day, so temper your expectations, heed the time, and remember that you exist, though that is the only quarter given.
CHANNEL: A lone log bobs and weaves among the tumult, it is only with great patience that slides are being taken from the bounty. Though quiet offerings are being observed, shapes of note are largely absent, and it is only those seeking penance and redemption who find solace here.

PATCH: This is where the tribe is called and is gathered this day, as traffic into, and out of the waters is thick and fierce. Solid outside rights are being enjoyed and smiles are visible, even on the most surly mugs. There are inside offerings as well, though they will require a detailed eye to find and savor. The waters are already beginning to recede, so find your time and get in line, and remember, there are no judges noting score. What is possible is what is done. That is all there is.
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.
