Chrismas Eve paddle

Christmas Eve 2009 four of us met at St. Philips for a short stint on the water before the festivities began. Last year it wasn't safe to launch. This year we managed on cold -7C but bright day to sweep the cobwebs away after hectic days preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus. Alexandr, Dean and Sean arrived and we put in. Later Lee emerged from the harbour.

It wasn't anything big but we paddled around trying to catch small surf waves. It didn't matter; we were just happy to be out in the fresh air.

A picture of each of the guys follow.

Almost an hour and half later we had satisfied our paddle urge and we left for home.

Merry Christmas to all the people I've paddled with this year and all the people who, I hope, have enjoyed checking out the pictures on my blog.
