Ed, not exactly sure of the weekend plans, but a Saturday S Laguna mission sounds like a fun time- I was thinking a beach launch from Strands would be an easy way to cut down on the paddling, but I've since learned that the longer paddle may be worth it! LOL Launching from Strands at night with just a waist high+ swell was a mission, for sure- I'll take the paddle, especially since it's downhill on the way home-
