Elkhorn Slough paddle

Nice weather for a paddle and the tides were right for putting in at Moss Landing.

The trick is to : find a wind free day; paddle inland with the tide, have a leisurely lunch at Kirby Landing while the tide turns, then float back out.

Or on a day with a sea breeze (most days) start morning time at Kirby with an outgoing tide; Float out with the wildlife; have lunch at the harbor while the tide turns and float back in with the tide and the wind. See the yellow line.

Wildlife was quiet between migration patterns. There were plenty of otters and seals though.
