Century Club: Bob Ohler

#102 - On a fabulous October 31st weather day, Dave and I paddled out of Smith Creek Marina, into Little Round Bay, around St. Helena Island and back. Great day on the water with Dave!

#100!  This was the year that I pretty much ruled out making the Century Club again. The recovery from more heart work in March was slower than expected. But then, I started to improve and I just kept logging my days.  I sailed my boat, sailed on a friend'd boat a lot, raced on Barba Roja, and went kayaking. I remembered how winter came in hard and early last November. If I was gonna make C-Club, I wanted to have it wrapped up by the end of October. And, for the fifth straight year, I made it!
On Oct 23rd, at dusk, Dave and I paddled out of Holiday Hills Marina, out into Whitemarsh Creek and the Rhode River. It was perfect. Up in the headwaters of the creek the wildlife was alive and vibrant. The sounds of the birds, an owl, and dogs off in the distance was something to soak up. When we ran out of water depth, we turned, retraced our course and paddled together out the other side of Rhode River.  We returned to the ramp in the dark. Perfect! 

#98 Inspired by DJO, and somewhat encouraged by PBO, I got out on a calm, flat Bay this morning.  I was just taking in the beauty of the cliffs and I spent time in prayer and thinking about life in general. It was a great opportunity to get #98. 

#96  Taking advantage of the beautiful afternoon weather, I decided to paddle out, rather than run parallel to the shore. I ventured out to the 3rd row of crab pots. The GPS showed that I was only 1/2 mile offshore, but it sure looked a lot farther than that. It was good upper body work, and an enjoyable day on the water, just the same.
