First Paddle of 2011

We were blessed with (as my friend @EdOMalley put it) an "awesome weather gift" this past Friday!

Sunny skies and 73 degrees weather called us to the river for a quick (into the wind) paddle.

We only got in about 40 minutes of actual paddle time as the sun was going down pretty quickly...but it was a wonderful 40 minutes.














































The wind was so strong I had to spend about half the time kneeling down, but it still made for an awesome workout.

























By the way, I don't recommend paddling without your middle fin when it's windy.

I removed my middle fin because I was afraid of hitting rocks...

I should have been more afraid of being blown all the way down-river!



















An excellent time as always at Huguenot Flats.
