Wife said the thermometer indicated 60’s, but the sun was quite high and it felt like 80 and the water still felt about the same when I waded in with my boat. Smooth as glass today on the North side, probably partly because the water level looks like it’s dropping somewhat.

When it’s this smooth, I can get a better look at the effects of my paddling technique. The boat kind of wiggles side to side like a fish swimming when I’m paddling hard.

First time I walked my kayak up and down the boat ramp weaving between people backing jetskis down or pulling out. I don’t think they minded too much, I stayed to the side.

Paddled yesterday, sunny, high 70’s. Windy in the Heron Cove parking lot, but calmer once I got down in the water. Upped my one-way time to 20 minutes, was about 75 yards short on the way back with the same time.

The wind is always from the South, which makes riding wakes on the way out (going North) fun, and I’m paddling against the wind coming back. But in that direction the ripple and wake peaks sparkle and I get the occasional splash over the bow, and I’m humming the Hawaii Five-o theme song…
