| We may have been over the legal limit of paddlers crammed into a van, but as we were headed south on Chuckanut, Nick and Alan both said with eyes wide, it’s pumping out there. | We may have been over the legal limit of paddlers crammed into a van, but as we were headed south on Chuckanut, Nick and Alan both said with eyes wide, it’s pumping out there. | ||
| - | Got to WC and the wind was steady and swirly. Denise and I rigged my Gemini, checked in with a few of the guys for safety, and headed out! The waves were stacking up good and looking at my GPS, saw that we were cruising between 9-11 + with little effort. I wasn’t paying attention and got too offshore at Chuckanut Bay. The easterly push had us swampy and we broached more than a few times, but we stayed upright. I got frustrated with my lack of focus, but we were still cruising and enjoying Gorge-style waves. The section from the tunnel to the north of the buoy was fun and very connectable in the longish Gemini. Once we hit Woods, the easterly reared it’s ugly head again and it was hard for me to connect… also, we may have been a wee bit tired! Sideways slop with attractive waves standing up in front… felt like Swell City. | + | Got to WC and the wind was steady and swirly.

| - | Kevin and Jamie stayed back, did laps and made sure my canoe of peckish hens got to the beach safely. So much to learn and thankful that all the hotshots let us tag along! | + | Kevin and Jamie stayed back, did laps and made sure my canoe of peckish hens got to the beach safely.
