Paddle: Santa Cruz to Moss Landing

Larry, Emily and I launched from Santa Cruz at 7:10 AM. It was a sunny, beautiful morning. We had two compasses but one was broken so for about an hour we headed straight into the fog and used wave direction and the sun as refence points. I was very happy to see the twin stacks of the electric plant emerge out of the gloom. Later in the day we pick up a stiff breeze from the SW making the Eddyline Falcon weather cock. Finally had to drop the skeg. We made it in just over five hours.
