On Thursday, January 5, I managed to join my BASK friends for another Thursday BASK Lunch Paddle. We were a group of eight, launching from China Camp and paddling across the bay on calm water. Our route took us out to two rocks called The Sisters, where we found a strong ebb current that helped carry us towards Richmond. We landed at a beach just south of Point San Pablo where we had lunch. The paddle back was a bit more work since we were paddling against the current. As we approached The Sisters on the return route, one of the gang suggested we “thread Grendel’s Needle,” which turns out to be a slot in the rock. Not something I would want to attempt on a windy, choppy day, but fun with the calm water. Our paddle covered 7.3 miles. You can view the track of our route here, and see additional pictures here.
