How long do you think it would take in a regular seabreeze?
Nice to see someone Lasering that stretch, Andy. I live in Santa Rosa and keep forgetting there's a boat ramp at Jenner. Next time I'm thinking it's too windy to SUP down there, you might see another Laser appear.I don't know... but I'll find out eventually.
The fastest conditions would be during the summer when we have fog right on the coast with it clear from there inland. That's when we have a strong onshore gradient and the wind really whips down that canyon.
I should think you could do the out and return in under 3 hours.

Sounds good Dennis! When it blows hard, I go windsurfing at Bodega Bay. Tend to sail at Jenner when there is nothing wind wise happening because of the sea breeze effect that happens in the canyon between Jenner and to the east past the bridge.
In fact, I was out there today. Sailed from 1 pm to 4 pm. No wind anywhere... except from Jenner to a mile inland from there. In the max venturi spot, I was seeing gusts to 15. Learned about the sea breeze that always blows in that canyon from flying RC sailplanes on the hills in that area for many years.

I love to sail in odd places.

Andy, Wow, you are a great navigator. I just watched your whole video, and while I thought I knew the bottom around there, you tuned me in to a couple of rocks I didn't know. My email is eyeper@sbcglobal.net (yours?) and I can't wait to sail with you out there.Dennis,
Here's a video about the Jenner area. Couldn't figure out how to PM you. FYI, after I did the video I remembered that you have been SUP-ing the whole area so probably well know where the underwater hazards are.
