Only two days away. Swell report looks good. 2-3 ft at 11 seconds apart last I checked. 10 mph winds and 65 degrees. Doesn't get much nicer than that.

What's a bad swell report look like?

Question: Have you guys done this run before, or are we all first timers?

Wouldn't you like to know the answer to that question. LOL. $100 says they won't tell you. Can I bind a small insurance policy on the both of you???

Did you know when you get about 2-3mi out you can't see the shoreline at all, in any direction? It's the strangest sensation. Its almost like you're lost and the sharks are waiting to feast on your appendages. That is until one of these runs right over the top of you LOL Name: cargoship.jpg

I've done the a bunch of times when I had my Shockwave. It is an awesome trip... Once you can see the shoreline you just keep heading 180* on the compass (out of Los Alamitos Bay) and all of a sudden BAM, there she is... Avalon!!!

Here a little tip. If you run into a pod of dolphins slow down to about 10mph, they we swim right up to the boat and surf the wave off your bow. You can lean over and touch them. They'll even turn sideways and look right up at you... It is the coolest thing ever, having mother nature's creature play with you in their environment. Not too many people get to experience that and you will never forget it.

Let's not forget when you're running perpendicular to the swells and drop into it where all you see is towering grey water to your left and right as you run on the bottom.
