Malaga Cove, Palos Verdes and King Harbor, Redondo Beach

Not much to say except that Mother Nature played a cruel, cruel April Fool's joke on me. Started out from King Harbor around 8:15am and made it to Malaga Cove in about an hour. As soon as I get to my destination and stop paddling, I immediately feel the waves. I can get seasick pretty easily and this was the worst for me in a long time. I read the forecast the night before and it said swells around 3 to 5 feet. I guess that's medium? Still learning how to read the forecasts... Anyway, it was enough to send me packing immediately, but not before I unceremoniously chummed the waters--not once, not twice, but three times. I was so exhausted.

Getting back into the harbor was a joyous occassion... LOL. After recuperating a bit, I licked my wounds and decided to throw swimbaits from the rocks. Skunked. Insult to injury.

Lesson learned: Never feel too ashamed to wear the patch.
