It's a nice day?
Heath got me up this morning saying "It's a nice day. Get out of bed
and go paddling."
The temperature was above 70 degrees and there was a warm wind blowing
from the south. I headed off towards Masonborro inlet and the turned
west to the intercoastal. At that point, the wind really picked
up. I decided to explore a couple of the man-made inlets. You'd think
that kayaks are common enough these days, but I got quite a few odd
looks from guys working on their boats. As I was heading east back
towards the island, the wind really started blowing. The sound went
from being glassy smooth to 2 foot breakers. As I turned south, I had
trouble making any forward progress, but I still had a lot of fun.
As I was carrying my boat back to the house, I thought it felt a
little heavier than normal. There was about 2 cups of water in the
forward hold. I'm hoping I didn't have the hatch on tightly. I'm
hoping to get in some pool time over the next couple of weeks. If
it's something else, I'll find out then.
