Loch Lomond to Windsurfer Beach

Today we had 14 BASK members on the kayak ramp at the Loch Lomond Yacht Harbor ready to launch at 10:30. Our destination today is Windsurfer Beach, a little beach not far from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. A maximum flood current of just under half a knot at 11:44 meant we’d be working against a slight current.

We left the harbor and headed to the Marin Islands, paddling out around the east island before heading south.

Our course took us under the Richmond-San Rafael bridge, around Point San Quentin, and then past the looming structures of San Quentin. It was noon when we landed on Windsurfer Beach, with all fourteen finding a spot to land among the gravel and rocks.

After lunch we were back in our boats at 12:50 retracing our route, although on this leg we made a beeline for Loch Lomond after crossing under the bridge.

We logged 9 miles over the course of our paddle. You can see a map that shows the track of our journey. More photos are available in an online gallery.

When I'm not creating architectural photos for clients (see my primary website at www.treve.com), I like to travel, hike, kayak and enjoy other artistic and cultural pursuits. I'm also concerned about environmental and social issues and issues of faith.
