Pedro phone late Friday and asked for a hand with a swim Saturday morning. I was scheduled to for a bike ride at 10:00 but agreed to a 6:30 paddle from Crissy Field to Alcatraz. We launched from the St. Francis Yacht Club and followed the swimmers who were pointed towards Angle Island but were carried swiftly to east by the flood tide. We had to take a short break while a cargo container ship crossed our path. After 55 minutes the last swimmers tagged “The Rock” and boarded a skiff for the ride home. Naturally, the kayakers had to slog back into the current for the last half hour.
I couldn't land where I launched from because the rising tide was crashing into the wall at the yacht club so I paddled down to Crissy Field and walked back to get the car.

Mostly cycling and kayaking trips in Northern California with a few hikes and exotic locations added for spice.
