| - | Well, I guess that all depends. First, by design the paddlers weren't out there when the worst of it hit in the early afternoon. Second, the paddle was from Marine Park to Squalicum, so there were many bail out options (i.e., turning around, the boat works, boulevard park, cornwall beach, squallicum beach). Third, the water was much warmer than when these storms come up in the dead of winter. Would I do the same thing again…no. But not because I was in any kind of danger, but because this about the fifth time I've tried such a thing with an easterly component to the wind and it's just more work that fun once you get past the boat yard. Laps next time for me. | + | Well, I guess that all depends. First, by design the paddlers weren't out there when the worst of it hit in the early afternoon.
