       SoCal kayaking (non fishing)

       I have two of my daughters home from college this week.  They'd
       never been in kayaks before and I've been having so much fun, I
       took them over to Alamitos Bay here in Long Beach and rented
       some kayaks and we played.  I took my hobie and rented two more.
       I took some cell phone pix.  It was one of those days you know
       you will treasure.  We had such fun, even if it was just playing
       around in the bay.  I did fish a little, but not much.  I was
       much more concerned with keeping them safe.  (Boat traffic and
       strong winds today.)
       It was so great - I just had to share.  I know it's not Lost
       Coast or even NorCal but we all come up to Humboldt regularly.
       Now I suspect they will be demanding to go kayak fishing with
       me.  (Older of the two wants to try kayak fishing in the S.F.
       Bay  -- she's in San Jose.  She took her fishing gear to school
       with her!)

       No comments on their "style" -- we were playing!  I didn't have
       time to seriously try fishing.
       Days that are priceless .. today was one!   :)

       Heck ya!!!  Way to go getting them stoked on the yaks.  Seeing
       parts of the city like that is super cool.

       Oldest of the two wants to go again before she leaves.  Wants to
       go kayaking up in the bay area, too.  Gotta find a place to rent
       a kayak near San Jose.

       That's good stuff, Dave.  Thanks for sharing it here - doesn't
       have to be Lost Coast!
       Get your oldest in touch with some folks from NCKA in SJ and
       they'll get her all dialed in.  The SF Bay is no place to cut
       your teeth in this sport.
