I've waited all winter anticipating the resumption of our regular Thursday evening practices at St. Philips only to find ...
... it was still winter. A small turnout of Brian, Sean and myself were on hand to do a short paddle along the coast in a bit of chop and in a few snow flurries. It was cool.
It was exhilarating paddling in the cold and looming clouds. In the west it started to lighten ...
... but the chop did not.
Surprisingly there wasn't much wind. That is some of the most enjoyable paddling for me; a bit of action without the slog into the wind.
The setting sun was our cue to turn and head back to the cove before it got dark. I suggested we paddle out into the bay a bit in the beam seas until we were upwind from St Philips so we could catch surf rides back.
The first Thursday evening practice was in the books. It will gradually warm up, we'll get more daylight each week and more bodies will turn out. Thursday evenings are something I look forward to because rain or shine, windy or calm, we'll be out there.

NOBODY has a head shaped like that. NOBODY!!! The hat, itself, is fine. I just didn't have it pulled down all the way - obviously!!
