This was a short paddling session. I do remember heading north and seeing an impressive osprey sitting high on a branch.

Nothing exciting to log. It was a nice night to be on the water. The wind was light and RC shortened the course.

#67 and four in a row! Not much special about the kayaking tonight other than seeing a great-looking osprey. Today did mark a four-day streak, and I did not want to break the streak. I paddled north to the dead-tree zone and back.

#66. This was a good, tough legitimate 55 minute kayak trip to the Boy Scout Camp dock and back. I made the trip in the evening after dinner and returned just as it was getting dark.

This turned out to be a tougher than expected evening kayak run. I paddled south with the breeze at an estimated 12 knots and white caps forming, I made it to the steps at the south end of Willows and I got even with the first bulkhead at the south end and then made the turn for home. This was a tough, arm and shoulder workout!

Posing for the camera
Underway
Last year, we finished 2nd in 17 hours,11 minutes, 11 seconds. This year, it took us a little longer ... more like 20 hours, 15 minutes, but WE WON!!! With a crew of 6, we raced hard all night. This was the first time my son, Dave had done the race with me. He had done it before without me. I did it last year with out him on board. This year we made a great memory together, one we will always remember!

Snorkeling in Aruba
We went out on the DePalm catamaran for some great snorkeling. We went to the Antilla ship wreck, Malmok Beach, and Catalina Cove. We had great snorkeling and a great time!

Aruba kayaking
I rented a kayak for 5 hours / days from Andrew, the activities man on the beach, and I took full advantage of it! On 5 different occasions I took the kayak out in strong winds. I would paddle to the Ritz, to Armando's Kite Shack, and to the Hadicarri dock. Each day, I was out about 45 minutes. I have now kayaked in the Caribbean Sea!
