I paddled out to meet Dan and Paulo at Cadboro Point for a paddle around the islands. It was hard work paddling over the top of the islands and also back across Baynes (wind and current against). I saw both Steller's and California sea lions as well as marbled murrelets, pigeon guillemots, harlequin ducks, dunlin, cormorants, gulls, turkey vulture, bald eagle, great blue heron. It was good to get out again, though I was a bit out of shape!

While Monica and I were camping at the Living Forest Campground I went out for a short paddle around the estuary and up the river a bit. The estuary was shallow!

While I was leading a trip on Cascadia, we managed to fit in 4 nice little paddles
This was a very special paddle as we saw a wolf amble down the beach and then sit down in front of us! 6 km
