Many happy days ahead!

I did a 7 mile downwind race this past weekend on my standup paddleboard. It took me around 1:45. I used an 11'6" Naish Hawaii that is meant more for surfing than speed. I found myself one of the furthest guys out by myself for the whole race and thinking about sharks. Last year a guy had to fight off a Great White with his paddle. Above is a photo of a sunfish. As I was paddling, thinking about sharks, I saw one of these things shooting up from depths below and jumping out of the water a few feet in front of my board and then just swimming away. How many of you have ever seen a sunfish? I made it in finally to a BBQ and cold Sierra Nevada so all in all it was fun day.

I had Monday off for Presidents Day. I woke up at 5 in the morning. I never get up at 5 in the morning. I paddled 2+ miles to PV cove and surfed the high tide. Nice day off.
