Will Schmidt

Will Schmidt is scheduled to launch from the south side of HB pier at 9:00 A. M. Tomorrow, 7/23.  His goal for the day is Dana Point.
It is very impressive that he has paddled this far, from Canada.

He made it to Dana Point, Ca. today! I tracked Will on his findmespot, and timed it perfect to intercept him about a mile out. Good to see our buddy and fellow zoner again. I gave him knuckles from all of you. Here is how it played out.....
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

BTW, he has 3 days left on his journey from Canada to Mex. I don't like the water right near Mexico's boarder. They don't really treat their sewage. I think the tequila kills some of the bacteria?

Steve,
From his log, it looks like he has been launching between 10:00 am and noon. Seeing the strong afternoon north winds we've been having, it makes sense to take advantage of it. Plus he's paddling a 17' SIC downwind board. He said he was averaging 8 to 9 mph this afternoon. It was capping when I was out there.

What's crazy looked at his last few legs he is doing around 25 miles a day.
