Nice catch Richie, looks like they are moving north. Where did you launch out of, Pt Bonita... I see. I guess it's better than going out of Emeryville.
We need some pics of the slaughter. :lol:

ya

i need to get my phone cord

i have pics

we launched from corte madera

 

[NorCalGrady]

I haven't launched from any place other than Moss, SC and HMB, ocean wise. I was looking to go north here since the pods are going that way, but didn't know of the better places to launch out of or if it was worth the drive by truck or boat. Coming from Manteca, it's still a drive either way.

ya emerville is good but a long 80nm run to guide or 601

but when they are at the gumdrop, it is only 35nm!!!

 

[NorCalGrady]

That's almost closer than HMB. It would seem farther since you have to go through the bay, but I guess you would go north from HMB to get there.

Nice job Richie! That's a heck of a run for you guys to get them. Glad it paid off.
