While Monica and I were camping at Buttle Lake, I took the Aquaglide Chelan out for a short paddle around the narrows. My GPS plot did not work, so I have made an approximate route based on memory...
We had great weather and it was good to be testing our new trailer for off grid camping...

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
