Jetstream gift

Clyde moving in for the rescue

The average daily temperature here at this time if year is 6 C. This morning it was 16 as the warm side of the jetstream climbed high to the north. We were paddling anyway regardless of the weather but it is just more pleasant when warm.

The wind built from the south while we were there as did the seas. In the middle of the Bell Island Tickle the weather got to Clyde as he jumped out of his boat to do a back deck scramble on self-rescue. Then Dean jumped out so Clyde could do a T-rescue.

I'd like to think I slept through winter Rip van Winkle like but no, it will cool down in a few days and its back to reality. Nevertheless, the weather today was a gift and enjoy it we did.
