Not so sure about tomorrow's run. Bomb cyclone maybe. too much for skinny-arm reivers.

Gusts blowing my house around pretty good. too big for little reivers. Gym day. Merry Christmas evebody.

Yeah, webcam shows waves regularly breaking over the base of the buoy, spray blowing off the tops of the waves. Could get more Goldilocks early afternoon. I'm holding out hope for that.

Merry Christmas!

There's a text group of paddlers talking about Padden. Might still be frozen up there. Not a good day to quit sniffing glue.

Just left MP…. Looks like the Reavely/Weeks and guests contingents are out paddling. I’m gonna keep watching the Seahawks

Denise and I had a Lk. Whatcom downwinder planned but our shuttle paddler had to drop out this morning. So we hitched a ride with Ana & Wilson to Wildcat. We saw a few OCs come in at MP just as we were about to head to the put-in - Dan Moseley & Lance Romo & ??

We had a nice paddle and calorie burn (prep for our family meal this evening). Back and forth wave rights and lefts in the middle section, some occasional strong gusting (definitely had to watch our boats loading and unloading) (…as well as some massive goose poop at MP), but good overall.

Seasons best to everyone.

Jeezeley Crow! what a great song. Haven't heard it in so long. I love the Celtic myth motife.

Ok, pretty good looking paddle as well.
