Jan 1st - Willows beach (#1)

I joined Jennie and 7 others for a relaxed SISKA paddle to Willows beach. We "noodled" along the shore checking out all the nooks and crannies and keeping in the lee of the cool north wind. Visibility was great again with the silhouette of Mt Rainier visible in the distance past Seattle! The winds at  RVYC  and 10 mile point were a pretty steady 10-15 knots directly from the north with occasional gusts over 15. We encountered a bit of lumpy water off Cattle point, but otherwise were able to find calm lee areas. It was nice to get a start on my next year's paddling goal - almost done 1%! :)
