  • Avoiding the shutout

The only thing worse than having one outing for the season would be to have none.  Hard to believe November 6th was the first time on the water in 2022.  In September of 2021 our builder told us that our renovations would be done in April, and I was looking forward 100 plus days on the water for the second time.  Well that never happened but the house is now almost finished, and I got to get out on my kayak for a bit and avoided the shutout.

  • Talking to Steve about his Ewave

I was watching one of my neighbors’ friends riding his EWave and wanted a closer view so I kayaked over to check it out.  Looks like lots of fun!  Perhaps next summer I’ll get a chance to try it out.  https://www.ewavesurf.com/

  • Me on day 100.
  • Me on day.

Wow, I did it!  Went out for a morning sail and I’m glad I didn’t wait until later in the day as it’s gotten wicked windy.  Thank you Spin Sheet Magazine for enriching my life and thank you Mount Gay providing some much needed refreshment on those days that maybe didn’t go as planned.

  • Glad this isn't my beach.
  • Not much wind but still nice to be out.
  • Nice looking boat motoring by.

Went out for about 1 1/2 hours and covered about 1 1/5 miles.  Still great to be on the water.
