Once a month a group of us get together and paddle Newport Harbor after work. We launch from the beach next to the Newport Aquatic Center and paddle over to Pizza Nova in the main harbor in a combination of kayaks and SUPs. There we dock our boats, partake in feast of pizza and beer, and then paddling back to the cars. We do this all year round and in pretty much all conditions. Light, dark, rain, and the dead of SoCal winter where you're tempted to put a sweater on with your flip flops.
You can find writeups of other pizza paddles here.
It's been really hectic lately with all the trips, classes, and other events and so Halloween turned out to be the date that worked best in October. So we did the logical thing and declared a pirate theme.
We're sadly past the point where we see a sunset while paddling but we did at least get it on the beach while getting ready.
It took a little longer to get ready this time since we had to gear up...

Sadly since it was dark I think our costumes received less appreciation while padding past boats than they would have otherwise.
When we arrived at Pizza Nova we found Gracia waiting for us in full regalia.
And we were soon joined by Steve, Karen, and little Kora who had just been trick or treating nearby in Newport.
And Kay arrived late dressed as a slightly off theme Rey from Star Wars. But she brought rice crispy treats so we accepted her.
