Private Island Pops up in SF

On Friday night during the king tide (-2ft) a shoal appears outside our marina. The shoal is about 100 yards long and 40 feet wide. At the appropriate time, 100 folks showed up for a 3 hour fiesta on the shoal. Small boats of all kinds decended on the island. Four bonfires burned bright as folks cooked food, drank beer and wine. I have known about this event for a long time and for some reason never went. A few friends were going and that gave me some motovation. I anchored outside the channel and it took about 15 minutes to paddle in. I will find a shorter paddle next time. I arrived and the party was in full swing. In a few minutes, the full moon rose out of the drakness. I saw it first and yelled to the crowd, MOOON! Everyone started howling like wolves.

I ran into my friends and meet some cool new friends. After a few hours, I headed back to the boat for some dinner. I plan to go next month and bring a bunch of friends! Way too much fun.
