Tomales Bay lies to the NW of SF Bay, and in spring and early summer is incredibly beautiful.  A camping/sailing/geocache expedition was put together, tents bought, provisions laid down (mostly chili and ramen), and this ship fitted out...

Char is a successful angler.  These little perch were tasty, but only about two bites each.
