Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I asked myself that a dozen times as I walked down to the community dock.  The wind was definitely "sporty" today, but I ultimately decided to drop the kayak in.  It was work, and the wind had pushed a lot of water out, so I couldn't go nearly as far into the branches of the creek as I normally do.  But as always, having gone out, there was the pleasure of a beautiful day and the sense of checking off another day on the water.
