I live in Los Osos at the southern end of Morro Bay and have kayaked in the bay many times. I especially like paddling in the fog and watching the shore disappear from view and silence surround me on my little plastic island. Great article!

Joshua, your excellent writing brings home many wonderful memories like the solo night-sail and tied bow-to the seep bank of Double Bayou on Galveston Bay. An alligator floated near the stern and would not leave, awaiting a “snack” as had apparently been provided by previous sailors.

After a couple hours keeping watch on this ‘gator , it dawned on me that alligators go on land as well as water and she could crawl from the bank onto the bow deck and into the cockpit with me! That night rather than anchor watch I had alligator watch.!
