Mike's Kayak Journal
Kayak trips around the San Francisco Bay.
When the swells at sea are too high to paddle the open ocean, the
San Francisco Bay is often calm enough to paddle. Although much
of the shore is developed, there are a suprising number of beautiful
places to paddle, including a number of interesing islands. Eventually
I will probably circumnavigate the Bay (one short trip at a time), so
I'm listing the stories here in clockwise order around the bay.
