Paddle: Pillar Point

Lee Apple and I launched from Pillar Point for a day of paddling and a little rescue and roll practice. We paddled out to Buoy #1 and checked the break on the reef. It was high tide and breaking around Mushroom and the other rocks so we decided to skip surfing. The swell was a little larger than we had expected. So we paddled back in to Bouy #3 then on to buoy #1S. The wind was down and it was a nice but overcast day. We saw lots of gulls, a few pelicans, sea lions hanging out on the buoys and some seals. My old camera died on the Rogue River so I was using a new Olympus 725SW, it’s waterproof and shock resistant. Back in the harbor we practice rolls, paddle float and T-rescues. Great day!
