I paddled out to Cadboro Point to join Paulo and Lesley for a paddle around the islands. Conditions were good with light winds and a solid ebb current. On the way back we did a few turns in the current between Vantreight and West Chatham. Heard the Growler jets taking off from Whidbey Island a few times!
23 species seen today. Birding highlight was seeing ancient murrelets again. https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S101443791

My 2021 year did not get as many km or number of paddles as some years, but considering that I was away for almost half the year, not too bad.
2021 concluded with 77 paddles and 707 km
Previous year totals
It is kind of neat to see that I have blogged almost 1500 paddles and over 15000 kms!
I paddled out to Cadboro Point to meet Dan and Paulo for my first paddle in over two months. Conditions were pretty good with a solid ebb at the start and little current at the finish. It was nice to see the usual birds again (https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S101250088) though I did not try counting today - 18 species. I encountered some lumpy water crossing Baynes Channel and also had great views of Mt. Baker. Great to be back on the water! :)
