| Post Point camera is 30'-40' above water level, base of #2 buoy is +4' in flat water. Watching the buoy tower swing 25-30 degrees and the base completely disappear in a trough means it's 5'-6' chop/waves out there, and boy howdy am I ever glad the bell was taken off that buoy. | Post Point camera is 30'-40' above water level, base of #2 buoy is +4' in flat water.

| - | Punched out beyond the drydock and proceeded to get hammered by large mixed up seas and gusts. So I headed toward the Park shoreline planning to head up out of the craziness. Once up in the boat launch area again I proceeded downwind but a little closer to shore this time. As I was quickly passing the beached sailboat, I got hit by an amazing fury of wind. It basically grabbed me and pushed me right into the shore...these was nothing I could do about it. As I was franticly trying to dislodge myself paddling backwards, I happened to look over my shoulder to see the water transformed into a white cloud. Believe me, I was happy not to be out in it.\\ | + | Punched out beyond the drydock and proceeded to get hammered by large mixed up seas and gusts.

| - | When my son was getting where he thought he was bullet-proof I took him up to Padden when wind was pulling water off the top. He thought it was great. No life jacket, no leash. I tucked into a corner and watched. Sure enough one of those williwaw's came down and plucked his skinny rump out of the boat. It was funny after we got all the parts and pieces to shore. It was also amazing to watch because he actually didn't tip over. I watched as the wind just picked him up with some help from paddle lift. He came down a couple feet from the boat which steam rollered away from him. Am I a bad father? LB always told me for best discipline you arrange for your child to have natural and logical consequences, hopefully without permanent damage. | + | When my son was getting where he thought he was bullet-proof I took him up to Padden when wind was pulling water off the top.
