Paddled out onto Tomales Bay (nor cal) this weekend for an overnighter. Had an awesome time. Figured I'd share some pics.

We also went out for a night paddle to view the bioluminescence phenomenon in the bay, but unfortunately it's way too dark to photograph or record. Anyway...

1. Finishing up the packing on our boats


2. Starting off


3. paddling down the bay


4. paddling further out from shore than we should have


5. setting up camp on Marshall Beach. Unfortunately, with the weather being so great lately, a lot of other people had the same idea this weekend, so we didn't feel terribly secluded :/


6. the view from our camp


7. sailboats out on an early morning sail


8. Tomales Bay in the early morning light


9. Sunrise over our camp


10.


11. Our camp in the early morning light


12. Taking a break to enjoy the view


13. cloud cover came in on our return trip


14. stopping for a snack break on the water


15. after our return, we decided to hit up one of the many local oyster farms


16. the yard of the oyster farm. Those mounds are all oyster shells


17. shuckin' away


18. sluurrrp

Awesome pictures! I just went to Drake's a few months ago. Are they saving the place or are they still planning on closing it down?

Thanks for sharing!

Great pics. The one good thing about Cali is the Weather/Ocean combination.
