The Point Reyes shipwreck also featured in SFGate today (and no paywall!) They offer more details of the story here and some better quotes.
“I remember when the boat was left out front and the owner walked away from it,” said Rebecca Dixon, who along with her husband, Mark Sutton, owns and operates Dixon Marine Services in Inverness.

In the SF Chronicle today: "The West Marin Feed recently posted on Twitter, its own photo of what little remains of the boat — a sunken hull, twisted wreckage and the collapsing wooden remains of what was once the cabin. It looks like a dilapidated shack being consumed by the sea."
Jim Fox, chief of the Inverness Volunteer Fire Department, is quite familiar with the Point Reyes, which he described as “a dangerous nuisance.”
"Who owns the boat and why it never got fixed up has been lost to sands of time — like the vessel itself." I thought people knew who owned the boat?

Get out there! "The first meteor shower of the year is about to reach its peak over the Bay Area early Thursday morning, and the unique event is expected to produce as many as 120 “larger fireballs” than usual per hour over the night sky."

Happy Winter Solstice from Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness today. The longest night and the shortest day with the sun directly overhead around noon. WMF loves this day because each day gets a little bit longer!

If you got the WMF newsletter on Monday, there was a typo in the blurb below and it read "I would surf Salmon Creek". It is supposed to be "wouldn't". WMF does not want to be held accountable for surfing mishaps.
"A great article in the latest Surfer's Journal called "How to Reduce Your Shark Risk to Zero" interviewing local shark researchers Scot Anderson and Paul Kanive. "Are there places you wouldn't surf because of sharks? I wouldn't surf Salmon Creek, especially in October. In the prime months [August to January] I wouldn't surf Ten Mile Beach in Point Reyes, or Shark Pit by DIllon Beach, or any place around here that's way offshore with a rocky bottom and pinnipeds around." There you go. It's behind a paywall on the web but you can get a copy on the Point Reyes Bookstore. Totally worth it."
