The dilemma with paddling in a beautiful place is constantly wanting to stop and take photos. I only allowed myself to stop 4 times this morning 🦅

Solid North headwind today made Northward progress slow. Downwind from Jones Island back to the harbor was very fun.

PR for me on this route, got really locked into this current and rode it around Griffin Bay. Other attempts I have overshot the turn and gotten sucked towards Cattle Pass too far, or undershot and get caught up in the middle slosh.

West wind picked up toward the end. Sheriff stopped to make sure I was okay out in the channel 😄

Unreal weather today 🫠

Lowest tide of the year

Been wanting to take the fam here forever and today was the perfect day. Lost count of the different types of wildflowers I saw.

Was going to go to Waldron, but there was a spot on the South side of Jones, and we’d never put the boat there before, so we snagged a buoy. Surprisingly few boats out… yet.

Tried to take it easy. Soooooo nice out. Despite the frowny face cloud. ☹️

Constant confused chop, plus it’s shrimp season, so dozens of fishing boat wakes. This was also just a bad route for the current and wind conditions, but at least it was a killer workout 😝

Fun upwind leg with less chop than last weeks although same wind. Lots of baby seals out swimming on their own right now and they are very curious. Not sure why the track ended early on this one.

A choppy day, lots of slapping going upwind to Turn Island with the current.

Started off with rain, ended with SUN. Love it when a route works out. Got a decent current push out and back.
