Went around the small island outside the entrance to the San Leandro Marina.
The waves were a little choppy 1-2ft out of the South due to the recent weather. Paddled for an hour out to the #12 mark. Practiced a couple 360 degree rotations of the kayak by back paddling.
Lots of people out walking while maintaining social distancing during the shelter in place directive. The marina exercise loop is popular for walking. It was a like a weekend day at the park today with all the people off work and school. The Oakland airport is nearby. Watching the planes come in for landings is good from this location.
My maneuvering skills in the large Advanced Elements Straightedge 2 person kayak while paddling solo are improving. Sitting in the back seating location works best. Some ballast in the front would help when it gets windy. The tides were high enough to make it over a normally too shallow area between the walking path and rocky landfill island.
This kayak is very comfortable for laying down and taking a nap. It's like a floating waterbed. I floated inside the rock wall area by the sheltered marina to snooze for a bit.
