For a group of San Francisco Bay Area residents, Thursday nights are reserved for kayaking on the bay. Islands, bights, caves, and more . . . no corner of the bay and its history are left unexplored. While the tales in this volume chronicle only the paddles in 2010, they are part of a longer time flow, starting in 2000. Better than any travel guide on San Francisco Bay, these volumes capture the flavor of one of the world's most reknown bodies of water.

Reflections on San Francisco Bay A Kayaker Tall Tales Vol 11 eBook John Boeschen

I have hard copies of volumes 7 through 10 and they make a marvelous read any time you want to venture on the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays from Marin County. Year in, year out no matter the weather or who shows up the author ventures out in search of it's not clear what and still manages to find it. Philosophizing, paddling and eating not necessarily in that order on the ever changing waters of the San Francisco Bay and environs with an ever evolving cast of characters the author makes a weekly adventure in his kayak into a lesson that ranges from the mundane to the sublime--all by a camp fire with an improvised meal and dessert reported along with the sea conditions at the end of each night's entry. My favorite entries are those rare night's when no one else shows up and the author is alone with his thoughts and the thoughts of his storm paddle strapped to his foredeck and that paddle's scathing critique of the author's inadequacies. These autobiographical sketches are the perfect length for bathroom reading. Whether in hard copy or on the Kindle the prose is never constipated.

Reflections on San Francisco Bay A Kayaker Tall Tales Vol 11 eBook John Boeschen Reviews

I have been reading the stories on line and in hardback for years. John does a good job at capturing the essence of these weekly paddles on San Francisco Bay. He goes beyond just giving a dry report of where he paddled using his own unique descriptions of the conditions (such as Lewinski scale to describe how hard the wind blows) and an occasional conversation with his paddle. I might be biased since I have joined him for a few of these trips but I find then quite entertaining.
I have been a fan of John Boeschen for many years and I find his stories to be interesting and well written.

It's hard not to chuckle with regularity when reading about the exploits of this ragged crew of very unprofessional risk takers. Although the evenings company of ever changing characters always come to have a good time; it is the Author's imagination embellishing what occures that brings a big smile. Integrating references to newsworthy topics such as how hard a Lewinsky blows is but the tit of the iceberg. I have been reading the volumes online and look forward to each new edition.
Great stories of real paddles in the Bay Area...I'm in a few of the stories. Highly recommended for all you kayaker wanna-be's...witty discourses on the quirkyness of life with kayaking thrown in
...even though Abbey was a park ranger in desert lands, while Boeschen and his dinner companions do their best to dodge authorities of all jurisdictions while scofflawing around SF Bay at night. I like his writing; I'm guessing he read a lot of Hemingway at some point.
I've read most of John's kayaking stories over the years, either on paper or screen. I still enjoy them, week after week. The guy's a good writer, and somehow - even though the cast of characters, the water traversed, and the desserts consumed share a fair amount over the years - somehow the stories keep getting better, if anything. Shows what practice can do.
The author manages to twist the facts (of weather and paddling conditions) and his personal reflections into what can best be described as sometimes fantastical tales. He manages to share his never mundane weekly paddles on San Francisco Bay with the reader using his unique prose. I have been following the stories on line and also have hard copies of later editions (including this one). The book is perfect reading to fill up periods of time where you only have time to read a couple pages.
