It May Not Be Winter,
But We're Getting There
Bring out the warm, but funny looking, clothes. Temperatures around here are freezing, and one must dress properly. Yesterday, with a gusting onshore ENE wind, we put on the long underwear, fleece tops, dry suits and all sorts of gloves and footwear. Because we were going to play in waves in shallow water, most wore brain buckets.

Four of us ended up going out. It seems that the "seasonal" paddlers have lready gone into hibernation. Besides, the day was not suitable for the less experienced paddlers.

It's tough to surf these short irregular waves, but fun to paddle parallel to them and practice bracing.
Only downside was that the onshore action left the shore mucky and weedy...as were we at the end.
Paddle safe...
