High Tide of the year
High Tide of the year
Mentioned in a earlier post that bike riding buddy Steve had told us that the “high tide of the century” would occur this morning. He even drew a “line in the sand” prediction out at the end of the trail when we rode out there on Saturday. I was planning on a bike ride today anyway so I figured I would time it to be out at the end of the Bay Trail right at high tide. The official tidal prediction from the Chronicle was 7.3 ft at 10:32 AM. As I’m getting ready I get a call from the Kahuna 
who was also interested in checking out high tide. We hooked up and headed the short way out to Coyote Hills and onto the Alameda Creek Trail. We actually got seperated for a short while when the Kahuna decided to take his bike on State Highway 84 rather than on the bike path. I turned right, he went straight, right onto the freeway!!! He said he missed the turn but I think he wanted to do some extreme biking. Either way, we hooked back up and made our way out to the end of the 
trail. Although the tide was very high, with lots of “moving water”, it was no where near where chief metoerologist and tidal forecaster, Vandenbush, had predicted. Although a bit cloudy and cold out there, the sun did manage to pop out while we were there. Great shot of the Kahuna at the end of the rainbow. How sweet it is.
