December 4th - Cadboro Bay (#116)

I took the surfski out for a late morning paddle around the bay. There were lots of birds about: buffleheads, hooded and common mergansers, western grebe, pacific loon, pelagic and double-crested cormorants, black turnstone, black oystercatchers, harlequin, great blue heron and more.
I ran into John H out at Cadboro Point and chatted for a while. He has a nice-looking sterling progression! I managed to visit Cadboro, ten mile and cattle points on this run.

(maybe one more paddle to reach my 2016 distance goal of 1000 km?)
