The annual Dana Point Outrigger Canoe race will be held this Saturday. That's going to make the launch ramp a complete nightmare with the usual crowd + 60 canoes + 60 escort boats.

If you're going to go (I hear there's a great bite on) go early (before 0600) and come back after 1600 or be prepared to deal with a LOT of aggrevation.

If you are out there and you see a swarm of outriggers heading your way, please swing wide and watch your wake - they are racing and are easily swamped or capsized due to the low freeboard.

No need to get out of their way if you're anchored or drifting though.

Thanks
