Paddle: Monterey

Bob Stender initiated a paddle from Moss Landing out into Monterey Bay to find hump back whales. Neither Bob nor the whales showed up. We met at Moss Landing and decided to drive down to MBK and launch. There were 17 of us that finally made it out on the water. It was much sunnier in Monterey than Moss Landing and everyone was in good spirits. There seemed to be a few more otters than usual hanging out from the aquarium to Cabrillo Point. We had many serious things to talk and think about; illnesses of Eric and Albert and the oil spill earlier in the week in the San Francisco Bay. We paddled out and did a lap around Buoy #2 at Point Pinos. There was a south wind and high overcast to the south but the rain held off.
