Woohoo! It always makes any day a ton better when I get to paddle and Friday was no different! It was a good day off (finally got hot water running to my kitchen sink again and got my sofa fixed - excellent!) but going paddling in the evening made it great.
My boss had decided to offer a free evening paddle as a "date night" outing to her ladies group at her church. All told, we had about 10 couples show up and 3 guides (two of her kids - Makayla and Connor - and myself). It was quite a large group but it was still a blast.
It was a pretty chill paddle, just ambling around some of the islands you can see from town, taking our time and enjoying it. The evening was perfect for a paddle; a very light breeze, no swell, low tide and rising, and a full moon. Well, it was still too light to see the moon, but sometime this summer I want to do a full moon paddle again when I can see it. I think that would be really neat!
