Hiatus over

At the put-in

Its been three weeks of atrocious weather so there's hasn't been any ocean paddling. Today, I put the bad weather behind me and joined Clyde and Dean for a morning paddle.

Both Clyde and Dean seal launched. I have video but Blogger wanted to put the video at the end so I couldn't put it in sequence. I decided to post in a day or so.

Little alcove

The wind had a bite to it in the -5C temperature and the sea had just a little lop. Here in this little alcove there's protection and a rock to paddle around.

Lots of ice

The cliffs were covered in ice and snow.

Comin' thru

The little lop there was made scooting between rocks interesting.

Gotta go around

Some rocks we had to paddle around as we couldn't get through on the inside.

Daggers of ice

Clyde checks out a shallow cave with overhanging icicles.

Wash up

A river flows into the harbour at the put-in. Its so much easier to rinse the salt out of our gear in the fresh water here than in the laundry tub or shower home.

Dean has a few shots of today's paddle on his blog. An enjoyable paddle guys, thanks.

And, guess what? Crappy weather is back tomorrow so I'm happy to get out today. Carpe diem in other words.
