  • Into the wind, waves were scarier than this shows
  • Waves were surfing me along
  • Our flag straight out in the wind
  • Friendly heron allows me to capture him on film.

Prob shouldn't have gone out, but had to get these days on the water. Very windy, high waves (for me) even white caps in the creek. Ventured out for a short paddle, tried to go into the wind, but waves were too high so turned around and went around the bend where it was a bit calmer. Saw a heron on a dock. Nice paddle until I tried to come back, had to paddle into the wind and cresting waves with herculean force. But made it back and alls well that ends well.
