Paddling with the Wednesday Gang
I had a rare chance to paddle with the Wednesday morning paddlers. We launched out of Aqua Adventures, unfortunately as I slid off the dock, my wetsuit snagged on a nail and tore a small hole. Crud.
We headed out the channel, the high tide was about +7.5 feet so slipping over the jetty was a real option. However, the surf at Dog Beach made it suspect. In the end, all but Mike Brown opted to head down the channel.
We regrouped with Mike near the buoy, then turned southward toward the pier. We cruised past the pier for a bit. Greg needed to be off the water no later than 9:30, so we turned back. The water was fairly calm and the weather wonderful. It was hard to imagine this was the end of December even in San Diego.
After returning to the docks and loading up our boats, we enjoyed a warm drink from the deli. We wished everyone a good and healthy new year (not before helping Mike transfer a shipment of some new kayaks from the delivery truck to in front of the shop).
