Here's the summer edition of Bay Nature Magazine - As part of my research I took a kayaking class and two wonderful trips on the Bay!

San Francisco Bay Water Trail

This one appears in the Spring 2009 issue of Wavelength Magazine:

Yellow Bluff, a spot below the north stanchion of the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, is one of Casey Walker’s favorite kayak launching sites.

“The bay floor drops suddenly and dramatically, causing the water to roil,” says the San Francisco business lawyer. “It only happens on the strongest outgoing tide because there is an eddy right to the side of that play spot. You get into the eddy and circulate out to less rough water where you can be easily rescued. It’s not a place for beginners.”

Green Building

This was published in the East Bay Monthly last summer:


In the West our buildings seem to transform with our tastes. Thirty year old malls are razed and replced with bigger and better malls and mid-century homes are renovated to respond to the whims of the new owners. It's no wonder that 20 percent of the waste stream in landfills is made up of construction debris.
