| Horses out there might be a little hefty for little old me. But I'm going. It's like 'dances with wolves' or maybe running of the bulls. | Horses out there might be a little hefty for little old me. But I'm going. It's like 'dances with wolves' or maybe running of the bulls. | ||

| + | A few skis and OCs paddled Wildcat to the harbor around 10:00. Fast clean waves up to Governors and the usual easterly push out of Chuckanut bay but extending farther north than normal. It was good and gusty by the time we hit post point where things really got sweet for about a half mile. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We had originally planned on finishing at Squalicum beach but the parking lot was a treacherous sheet of ice so opted for the harbor (only slightly less sketchy). Wind was lined up much better for the beach than the harbor so the last mile and a half consisted of sloppy beamish waves but still a quality run. | ||

| + | Paddle for the skills you have, not the skills you want. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After some honest deliberation with myself, I decided that hoping on Kevin’s trailer for the downwind was pushing my comfort zone and a survival paddle wasn’t on my to do list for the day. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After bowing out, I met with the usual suspects at MP: the Denises, Paul R and Julie V for some spectacular laps in the afternoon. Pushing up wind with rebound at barely 2 mph wasn’t much fun, but the roller coaster ride to the north made it worth it! | ||

| + | Not being swept along is sooo hard. I should be dead for stoopid a hundred times, but oh well. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Laps are good. It's hard work but you know what you're dealing with. On those wild DW runs, you commit before you can know. And some of these dang party boys, you don't know if they would remember your name in the morning. | ||
