Paddling off Wrightsville Beach
We left around 10:00 AM and began with a photo shoot. Heath and I
donned our Santa hats and posed for a few photos. If they turn out,
we'll use them for our Christmas cards. Jean then joined us and we
headed out.
Its official. I need a new paddle. My paddle
just doesn't work for me. Its heavy, flutters, and wants to torque
unless I hold it tightly. I'm not sure what I'll get, but it will
likely be carbon with a more symmetrical blade.
The plan was to go out again this morning, but we woke up to 25-35mph
winds. If we had gone out, it would have been a short trip. Both
Heath and I were fairly sore from yesterday's paddle. Its a lot
harder to wind through the marsh than go in a straight line on the
lake.
