Hi Cate, Yup, I'm bring our kayaks. I'll definitely give you a visit. My wife is finally going to try kayaking so it looks like the marina is a good place to try it out. I'm looking forward to it. Lance

Lance, are you bringing your kayak? I guide on the Mendocino Coast and know the Noyo River well. The Noyo River is a beautiful estuary paddle with lots of great wildlife. Drop me an email or stop by Liquid Fusion Kayaking and I can give you lots of…

Fort Bragg

I'm planning a camping trip up in the Fort Bragg, CA area next week. I've paddled in the ocean off of Van Damme state park and up the Big River. We are going to be close to the Noyo River and I was wondering if anybody has any experience on that. I also plan on relaxing in a chair with beverage and looking at pictures of kayakers in a magazine, which I think counts for something. Anywhere else around there interesting?

Feeding frenzy

So Sunday my buddy and I are heading out of Channel Island Harbor towards the first oil platform and we see a group of pelicans diving bombing into the water about a mile out. So we paddle over and we come upon the birds, seals and a pod of dolphins attacking a school of fish. The dolphins are jumping all around us, as close as a couple of feet. SO awesome. I had one dolphin bump my kayak as he swam under. My buddy actually had a group of 4 or 5 seals following him for a while. That freaked him… Continue

Launch from the beach in front of Van Damme State Park and go to the north. You'll encounter sea caves like you can't believe. There is one there that you enter prior to rounding the point that goes about 100 feet before it comes out on the other side. From there just keep close to the cliffs and stick to the North and one after another will pop up for you to explore. Wear a helmet and take a flashlight with you because some of them go in so far, you lose the daylight. There's also a seal colony there with the smaller harbor seals. It's a semi protected paddle in that there is a series of rocks that break up the waves prior to where you'll be at. Check it out and tell me about it when you get back.

While your there, sample some of the Anderson Valley Brewing Companies finest. They make a dark oatmeal stout called Barney Flats that I love. It's a sipping beer that's incredible!
