Dan and I went for an early morning paddle around the islands. Conditions were excellent and we got a nice paddle in before the weather turns. No sea lions around but a few seals and we are seeing quite a few marbled murrelets, pigeon guillemots and common murres in winter plumage. We also saw (and heard the distinctive wing beat of) surf scoters.

Dan and I went for a morning paddle around the Islands. Conditions were wonderful. Not too hot, little current and no wind! We saw a bunch of the usual summer/fall birds and I tallied 11 species. https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S120235409

I went for a short afternoon SUP around the bay ( a partial objective was to feed some salmon carcasses to the crabs!), but conditions were gorgeous. There was a group of kayakers working on a course and a few sailboats returning to RVYC. I went by Statia and the yacht club.

I went for a nice afternoon paddle around the bay - it has been a while as I was away on trips!
Beautiful conditions, sunny, calm, little current, highish tide. I saw some nice birds, including a Heerman's gull. https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S119873666 I also saw some good mirages out around the chain islets.
