Has anyone been out since the storm? How's the water?

I am thinking tubing on Sunday at West Beach if the water looks OK.

How far of a paddle is it from the mouth of the SB Harbor to Ledbetter? I have business in SB Monday and get the last half of the day to fish....Weather permiting its suppose to rain.

That may be a long paddle. Check out this site to give you an idea:

Remember, it may not look far in the picture, but in a tube that is a long ways. Personally, I would rather launch through the surf than paddle that far.

Hey there, its about 1 mile to the Ledbetter kelp from the habor mouth, the other thing is that its generally a downwind paddle back down to the harbor. One last little tid bit, the kelp area just out side and to 50yrds west of the western most sail boat was biting pretty good before the storm. Captain Larry
