My 2016 paddling year

2016 was another good year of paddling with 129 paddles and 1076 km total. This year I played around with Google Sheets and the paddle data...

Year #	Year	# paddles	km total	km per paddle
1	2006	77	1273	16.5
2	2007	66	1098	16.6
3	2008	75	1080	14.4
4	2009	116	1381	11.9
5	2010	124	1214	9.8
6	2011	105	1217	11.6
7	2012	87	1001	11.5
8	2013	92	1063	11.6
9	2014	98	911	9.3
10	2015	120	1025	8.5
11	2016	129	1076	8.3
	Totals	1089	12339

Some summary charts... you can see that the number of paddles has generally increased while the km per paddle has decreased. More short paddles around the bay! You can see that the average trip distance decreased once we started living in Cadboro Bay in 2008. 2014 was the only year in the 11 of the blog that I did not make my 1000 km goal due to tendinitis in my elbow which began in October.

It looks like I made 38 trips out to Discovery Island this year with several good wolf sightings!
