Lumpy again with a building East wind. Super fun downriver section from North end of Patos back to Sucia, where I portaged from Shallow Bay back to Echo.

Active waters, strong currents, but pretty chill. Lots of starfish at very low tide.

Easy peasy cruise with the current to Echo Bay.

A difficult row with a stiff SW breeze

Kind of a weird route near slack tide but it was a fun one.

Ext need the route to grindstone Harbor to get over 20 miles. 1st 4 hours were pretty easy, last hour was gnarly on the legs and slow. All in all a good tour on the San Juans 🤙🏼

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 🦅
