This winter of the Wednesday night paddlers the most hardcore paddler awards go to Ernie, Nancy, Neil, and me. And Minnie gets an honorary mention. It seems like we four consistently show up for Wednesday practice regardless of weather. Although we *can* be a little wussy when it comes to big wind. :-) Not sure if we're nuts of merely passionate. I'd like to think we are passionate about paddling.
Tonight I sat stroke from seat 2, Ernie seat 3, Nancy seat 4, and Neil was steersman in 6. It was mostly clear out tonight, lots of stars out. We headed east towards Kirkland/Juanita Bay, then north into the top of the bay. We could see the constellation Orion on our outbound paddle. Then we headed southwest towards the dog park at Magnuson Park and then headed west back to the SSP beach. There was no wind and it was nice and cool but not cold at all. We went about 5.5 miles total. As we were backing the boat onto the ramp I looked up and saw the Big Dipper, pretty spectacular. In all it was a very good practice. Thanks people for coming out.
